Abstract:The electron temperature and electron density of plasma for material surface treatment will have an important impact on active components of material surface. In order to study the electronic temperature and electron density of plasma jet, the needlering electrode structure is used to build a plasma discharge and spectral diagnosis test platform to achieve stable plasma jet in the atmosphere, and the spectral data of argon plasma are collected by spectrometer, and the Boltzmann curve slope method and Stark broadening method are used resfectively to calculate, compare and analyze the electron temperature and electron density change law at the plasma jet tip, the different axial positions of plasma jet when the jet tip has copper foil or not, of the acting on the surface of copper foil, and and the different distances from copper foil to jet nozzle. The results show that the increase of input voltage will lead to an increase in electron temperature and a decrease in electron density. The plasma electron temperature decreases with the increase of axial distance, and the electron density first increases slightly and then decreases with axial distance. The placement of copper foil at the tip has an effect on the electronic temperature and the electron density value within a certain range. When the distance from copper foil to jet nozzle increases, the electron temperature on the surface of copper foil first rises and then decreases, and the electron density first decreases and then increases. And the applied voltage increases, the distance from the position where the electron temperature reaches the maximum value and the position where the electron density reaches the minimum value is getting farther and farther away.
