The formation and decay of atoms in a pulsed low-frequency glow discharge in a chlorine-hydrogen mixture
Annotation
The mechanisms of formation and decay of atoms in the pulsed low-frequency plasma of a chlorine-hydrogen mixture have been studied. The contributions of processes involving all particles of plasma that form the composition of a plasma gap are analyzed in detail. The atoms have been shown to undergo the decay on the reactor walls according to a first-order rate law. Using the pulse relaxation technique, the absolute values of the rate constants and the probabilities of chlorine (hydrogen) atom recombination in the plasma Cl$_2$/H$_2$ of variable composition have been obtained.
