Is the principle of plasma essentially the ionization of gas? ! Thank you!
What changes will occur to the gas if the temperature continues to rise? Scientists tell us that at this point, the atoms that make up the molecules separate, forming individual atoms; for example, a nitrogen molecule splits into two nitrogen atoms. We refer to this process as the dissociation of molecules in a gas. If the temperature is increased further, the electrons in the atom are stripped away, resulting in a positively charged nucleus and negatively charged electrons; this process is known as the ionization of an atom.
The temperature of low-temperature plasma hardly increases.
During low-temperature plasma discharge, although the electron temperature is very high, the temperature of heavy particles is very low; as a result, the entire system is in a low-temperature state, which is why it is called low-temperature plasma, or non-equilibrium plasma.
That’s right. So, low-temperature plasma is essentially ionization? Ionize the electron?
