Transition from a filamentary mode to a diffuse one with varying distance from needle to stream of an argon plasma jet

Plasma jet has extensive application potentials in various fields,which normally operates in a diffuse mode when helium is used as the working gas.However,when less expensive argon is used,the plasma jet often operates in a filamentary mode.Compared to the filamentary mode,the diffuse mode is more desirable for applications.Hence,many efforts have been exerted to accomplish the diffuse mode of the argon plasma jet.In this paper,a novel single-needle argon plasma jet is developed to obtain the diffuse mode.It is found that the plasma jet operates in the filamentary mode when the distance from the needle tip to the central line of the argon stream(d)is short.It transits to the diffuse mode with increasing d.For the diffuse mode,there is always one discharge pulse per voltage cycle,which initiates at the rising edge of the positive voltage.For comparison,the number of discharge pulse increases with an increase in the peak voltage for the filamentary mode.Fast photography reveals that the plasma plume in the filamentary mode results from a guided positive streamer,which propagates in the argon stream.However,the plume in the diffuse mode originates from a branched streamer,which propagates in the interfacial layer between the argon stream and the surrounding air.By optical emission spectroscopy,plasma parameters are investigated for the two discharge modes,which show a similar trend with increasing d.The diffuse mode has lower electron temperature,electron density,vibrational temperature,and gas temperature compared to the filamentary mode.
