Abstract

In this paper, we report a molecular beam mass spectrometer study of a time-modulated radiofrequency (RF)-driven atmospheric pressure plasma jet in Ar + 1% O2. Time-resolved measurements of the absolute density of O3 during the RF modulation period revealed a temporal increase of O3 densities at the start and end of the power modulation. This increase correlates with the increase in O2 due to plasma-induced transient vortices in the gas jet. Pseudo-one-dimensional plug flow modeling of the axial species densities as a function of distance match well with the experimentally recorded trends. The obtained results were used to assess the importance of the O flux in previously reported ClO production in saline by the same plasma jet.
