Faraday dark space

Fig. 10.13 Ar/H2 plasma (3 parts Ar to 1 part H2) burning over Cu(CF3S03)2 dissolved in [EMIM][TfO] with a brown cloud and black deposits. The distance amounts to only 4.5 cm, thus the plasma consists mostly of dark space (Faraday space).

Faraday dark space. The positive column extends to tire anode, which may be covered by tire anode glow. 

If the electrodes are moved closer together, the positive column begins to shorten as it moves through the Faraday dark space because the ions and electrons within it have a shorter distance through which to diffuse. Near the cathode, however, the electric-field gradient becomes steeper and electrons from the cathode are accelerated more quickly. Thus atom excitation through collision with electrons occurs nearer and nearer to the cathode, and the cathode glow moves down toward the electrode.

The data of Henry (3/) are the simplest to analyze they relate to initial rates of ozone synthesis at p = 2.4 mm. Hg and mainly to positive column reaction because the rate of synthesis in the negative zones (cathode surface to Faraday dark space-positive column boundary) was relatively negligible. The cross section of the tube was about 0.8 cm.2, and hence the current density was about 1.25 I ma. cm. 2. Judged by the rough sketch given, the positive column was about 10 cm. long.

The effect of adding 0.07% xenon to neon is seen in Figure 7. The residual current drops and there is a steeper slope to the exponential part of the curve. In addition, a smaller increase is observed in the Faraday dark space.
