[Study on the Plasma Parameters of the Spot-Halo Hexagon Pattern with Optical Emission Spectrum].

The spot-halo hexagon pattern consisted of the center spot and hexagon halo in dielectric barrier discharge is researched, which filled with gas-mixture of argon and air. The pictures taken from the experiment shows that there is an obvious difference on brightness between the center spot and hexagon halo. All of these phenomena suggest that the center spot and hexagon halo are probably in different plasma state. The plasma parameters of the center spot and hexagon halo in the spot-halo hexagon pattern as a function of gas pressure are studied in details by using optical emission spectra. The emission spectra of the N2 second positive band(C3Πu→B3Πg)are measured, from which the molecule vibrational temperature of the center spot and hexagon halo are calculated. Based on the relative intensity of the line at 391.4 nm and the N2 line at 394.1 nm, the change of the electron average energy of the center spot and hexagon halo as a function of gas pressure is investigated. The electron density is studied by using the broadening of the spectral line 696.5 nm. It is found that the main chart of the spot-halo hexagon pattern is the argon content from 60% to 75% and the pressure from 30 to 46 kPa. The molecule vibrational temperature and electron average energy of the hexagon halo are higher than those of the center spot at the same pressure. As the pressure gradually increased from 30 to 46 kPa, the molecule vibrational temperature and electron average energy of the center spot and hexagon halo are increased, too. The broadening of the spectral line of the hexagon halo is bigger than the center spot at the same pressure, which increases with the gas pressure increasing. It indicates that the electron density increases with gas pressure increasing. The different plasma state of the center spot and hexagon halo show that the different formations mechanism of them. It is found that there are volume discharges firstly and then comes surface discharges with e high speed camera.
