Relationship between intensity distribution of nitrogen oxide-based ions and inhomogeneous electric field distribution generated in negative corona discharges

Atmospheric pressure plasmas have problems for industrial applications that nitrogen oxides generated as discharge by-products cause corrosion of electrodes. However, there are many unclear issues about how they are generated and moved in an electric field. In this study, intensity distribution of nitrogen oxide-based ions formed in point-to-plane electrodes was obtained by mass spectrometer. Also, the inhomogeneous electric field distribution was calculated using conformal mapping method. When the distance between the electrodes was longer, nitrogen oxide-related ions were observed in a wider range than the calculated values. This suggested that the neutral nitrogen oxides diffused without being affected by the electric field and then ionized.
