Abstrakt: A H[sub 2]/Ar cascaded arc plasma source has been experimentally characterized by determination of the efficiency, the electric field, and the pressure gradient of the arc. The results show that the efficiency of a H[sub 2]/Ar cascaded arc drops when the hydrogen flow rate is increased. The electron temperature in the argon cascaded arc has been derived to be in the range 9000-12 500 K. For a hydrogen arc, the mass dissociation degree of hydrogen molecules has been derived to be above 60%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
