Measurements of Diffusion Coefficient of CF2 Radical in DC Pulsed CF4 Discharge Plasma

Abstract
Laser-induced fluorescence has been used to measure the CF2 radical ground-state densities after extinction of DC pulsed CF4 discharge plasma. From the measurement, the CF2 radical was shown to be removed mainly by a diffusion process. Its diffusion coefficient was found to be D=65 cm2·Torr·s-1 in CF4 at room temperature.
