Behaviour of Dielectric Barrier Discharges in Nitrogen/Oxygen Mixtures

Abstract

Dielectric barrier discharges have been investigated in binary mixtures of nitrogen and oxygen by means of spatio-temporally resolved optical emission spectroscopy. The content of oxygen was varied within the range 0.5-97%. Qualitatively, no profound influence of the gas composition on the discharge behavior has been found. Observed quantitative changes in the luminosity distributions depending on the oxygen content in a mixture, may be explained by the role of collisional quenching of nitrogen excited states by the O2 molecules.
