Abstract

A spectroscopic technique is described for measuring the temperature of phosphorescent particles suspended in alow pressure rf plasma. The particles are found to be slightly hotter than the neutral gas temperature. This result is consistent with models of particle heating in a low pressure discharge. Also, we report on an entrainment device for introducing the phosphorescent particles (or other types of particles) into a discharge.
