Radiation Studies of ARC Heated Plasmas
Abstract
The report presents tables of the continuum radiation from argon, nitrogen, oxygen, and air in the spectral range from 950A to 6.0 micrometers, for temperatures from 9000 to 30,000 degrees K and pressures from 1 to 30 atm. For the neutral atoms and singly charged ions, these tables are based on the authors previously reported experimental data, while for doubly charged ions, they are based on new quantum defect calculations of the radiation. Also included in the report are tables of the Stark widths and shifts for singly ionized argon lines at temperatures from 15,000 to 25,000 degrees K, as calculated from Griem's semi-empirical treatment. These results are compared with experimental data on the Stark shifts of several AII lines at 20,000 degrees K, which were measured in the pulsed argon arc.
