Abstract

Time varying discharges and afterglows have been studied in Ar and  gases for several types of discharge structures (DC, RF, DBD, magnetron) at different gas pressures from a few mTorr to the atmospheric gas pressure. It has been discussed the effects of reactions between metastable atoms ) and from molecules (  in long time  range  and short time  range  afterglows in the excitations of Ar high radiative levels, ) level and  bands. Strong emissions of and -atoms ( when  was added to  in short time  range , low Ar pressure  pulsed DC magnetron plasmas which were associated to hard  coatings.
