| Using spectroscopic measurements vibrational and rotational temperatures were determined in the "ferroelectric" plasma source for different gas mixtures. It was shown that in this time-periodical, atmospheric pressure non-equilibrium discharge, both plasma temperatures differ strongly, and that the vibrational temperature is much higher (≈ 3 kK) than the rotational one (< 1 kK). |
