A predominantly blue “active nitrogen” afterglow was generated in pure flowing nitrogen or in air by using a dielectric discharge at pressures from 1 to 20 Torr. The afterglow contains triplet state molecules and vibrationally excited ground state molecules. These species are produced directly by electron impact without the formation and recombination of nitrogen atoms. The most intense emission is the N2 second positive band system. The N2 first positive and N2+ first negative systems are also observed. The spectral and electrical properties of this discharge are discussed in order to establish guidelines for the analytical use of the afterglow for chemiluminescence reactions. The metastatic nitrogen efficiently transfers its energy to atomic and molecular species which are introduced into the gas phase and these excited species emit characteristic radiation. The effects of electrothermal atomization of Zn and the introduction of gaseous species (e.g., NO) on the afterglow are described.

In situ NbC and VC nanoparticles reinforced Fe-Si-Mn-Nb-V matrix composite was carried out using a plasma jet with a plasma gas flow of (Ar + CH4) for very short time. The process involve improving the efficiency of the reaction in terms of consumption of the available active nitrogen atoms as well as the production of very fine and homogeneous distribution of all reinforcing phases of ceramic particles, preferable in the nanometer range. The nanoreinforcements synthesized by in situ reaction in this hybrid composite are NbC and VC ceramic particles.
