AbstractThe emission characteristics of a scheme combining laser ablation as sample introduction source and hollow cathode discharge as excitation source are presented. The spatial separation of the sample material introduction by laser ablation and hollow cathode excitation is achieved by optimizing the gas pressure and the sample-cathode gap length. At these conditions the discharge current is maximized to enhance the analytical lines intensity.

Rotational temperatures in the uncooled hollow cathode discharge (HCD) have been measured. Using rotational lines of the OH (0,0) band, the temperatures were measured in a helium fill gas pressure range from 266 to 2130 Pa and in the discharge current between 0.1 and 0.3 A. A comparative study of these temperatures with gas and excitation temperatures in HCD is presented.

Detailed studies have been made of the number densities of the neutral constituents of the negative glow of a hollow cathode discharge (with currents up to 120 mA) produced in N2 at various pressures (0.2 <C p0 < 2.0 Torr).The dissociation degree XN of N2 in the presence of the discharge was determined as a function of gas pressure p0 and discharge current Id and from these data an empirical expression was derived XN p0 = C Id , with C = 7.6·1014 particles cm-3·A-1. Using this result a value of the density [es] of the fast electrons present in the negative glow as a function of discharge current was calculated to [es] = 5.9·107 Id. Also an estimated reaction rate constant was obtained for the fast bimolecular process N + NO→N2+0 (3.3·10-11 cm3s-1).Relative ionization efficiency curves at mass 28 and mass 14 in the presence and absence of the discharge yielded values of the ionization and appearance potential for N2+e→N2++2e (15.55 ± 0.1 eV), N2+e→N++N+2e (23.65±0.2 eV) and N+e→N++2e (14.35 ± 0.4 eV).

The electric field above the cathode surface of an Ar hollow cathode discharge has been measured by optogalvanic Stark spectroscopy. The field depends on the radial position of illumination and describes the radial distribution of the space charge density, ρ(r), as ρ(r) = –Ar + B, where r is the radial position and the parameters A and B are positive. The values of A and B increase with the discharge current, but the width of the cathode fall region remains nearly constant at about 1.02 ± 0.03 mm for a brass cathode of 5 mm i. d.
