POSITIVE IONS IN NITRIC OXIDE AFTERGLOWS,
Abstract
Results are given of measurements performed on a stationary nitric oxide afterglow. The nitric oxide, contained in a large gold-plated cylinder, was ionized by means of the 116.5 and 123.6 nm resonance lines of krypton. The ions were sampled through an electrically insulated orifice; it was observed that the potentials (in the mV range) applied to the orifice had a pronounced effect on the measured time constant of the afterglow decay. After the ions emerged from the sampling orifice, they were quantitatively detected by time-resolved mass spectroscopy. (Author)
