Mushtaq, Sohail, Steers, Edward B. M., Pickering, Juliet C. and Šmid, Petr (2014) Enhancement of analyte atomic lines with excitation energies of about 5 eV in the presence of molecular gases in analytical glow discharges. J. Anal. At. Spectrom., 29 (11). pp. 2022-2026. ISSN 0267-9477
Abstract
Small amounts of hydrogen or oxygen in either argon or neon plasmas cause previously unexplained enhanced excitation of various analyte atomic lines with upper energies close to 5 eV. We suggest this enhancement is due to three body collisions involving two hydrogen or oxygen atoms and a sample atom.
