Ozone formation studied by observing emission yielding from an oxygen-fed micro-discharge

The dynamics of the ozone formation in an oxygen-fed micro-discharge was st udied by observing the dispersed emission from the reacting species. The co rrelation between the ozone production with the physical factors of a micro -discharge was described by a mathematical model where the distribution of the mean electronic energy is considered. The results showed that the oxyge n atom is mostly produced from the oxygen molecule dissociating from the Sc humann-Runge band, instead of being produced by direct electron bombardment . This is the reason why pressure has a negative effect role in ozone forma tion.
