The deep profile of a coated graphite probe, which was taken by glow discharge optical spectroscopy, shows that considerably more Si than C was coated. It means that no pure SiC was formed under the given conditions. It is shown at the deep profile (Fig. 2) the temperature has a significant influence on the composition of layer and the kinetics of deposition (temperature can be entered on the deep axis). 

The sputtering of metal from the electrode by Ar glow discharge depends primarily on the kinetic energy of the impinging ions. Therefore, it is easy to... 

About a year prior to the discovery of the cathode glow, it was recognized that the deposition kinetics of DC cathodic polymerization (deposition on the cathode) was completely different from that of deposition on the substrate floating in glow discharge. In order to describe the difference, it was explained by designating the cathodic polymerization as dark polymerization assuming that the polymerization took place in the cathode dark space. This was obviously a mistake, because it was intuitively assumed that the cathode was in the dark space. It has never occurred to... 

The gas temperature is determined by the kinetic energy of the neutral atoms and the ions. It can be determined from the Doppler broadening of the spectral lines, as described by Eq. (49). However, to achieve this contributions of Doppler broadening and temperature broadening have to be separated, which involves the use of complicated deconvolution procedures as e.g. shown for the case of glow discharges in Ref. [24].
