Abstract:An experimental study is presented of a cold atmospheric Ar plasma jet with distinct advantages of low-working voltage and high plasma stability. To effectively improve the performance of the jet, a pair of pin electrodes with one floating in the air is applied. Variation in the applied voltage and/or the Ar gas flow causes the transition of the jet plasma from ignition, through stable plume to an unstable stage. The characteristics of the jet discharge are also studied by means of the electrical and spectroscopic diagnosis. (c) 2008 American Institute of Physics.
