Zusammenfassung: | The chemical composition of a low-pressure hydrogen dc plasma produced in a hollow cathode discharge has been measured and modeled. The concentrations of H atoms and of H+, H2 + and H3 + ions were determined with a combination of optical spectroscopic and mass spectrometric techniques, over the range of pressures (p ∼0.008−0.2 mbar) investigated. The results were rationalized with the help of a zero-order kinetic model. A comparatively high fraction (∼0.1 ± 0.05) of H atoms, indicative of a relatively small wall recombination, was observed. Low ionization degrees ( |
