Theoretical study of equilibrium nitrogen plasma radiation

New theoretical calculations of continuum and total radiation emitted by nitrogen plasmas in LTE at 9000, 11000, 13000, 13500 and 15000°K at 1 atm are described and results are compared with previously reported experimental results derived from emission and absorption measurements. Theoretical width...

Summary:New theoretical calculations of continuum and total radiation emitted by nitrogen plasmas in LTE at 9000, 11000, 13000, 13500 and 15000°K at 1 atm are described and results are compared with previously reported experimental results derived from emission and absorption measurements. Theoretical widths for selected N(I) and N(II) transitions agree within a factor of 2 with recent measurements and other theoretical results. “Excess continuum radiation”, attributed by other authors to radiative attachment to neutral N, is probably due to overlapping line wings. The calculated total radiation is consistent with experimental results.
