Neutral bremsstrahlung radiation of Ne, Ar and O
Abstract
The neutral bremsstrahlung cross-sections of Ne, Ar and atomic oxygen around the 3 and 10 micron wavelength regions were measured in a high temperature plasma generated in a shock tube. The results were generally a factor of three higher than the theoretical values calculated by Geltman. Agreement with the experimental results of Taylor and Caledonia around 3 microns was good except for the case of Ne. The cross-sections around 10 microns are the first measurements in this wavelength region. Enhanced radiation due to atomic line emission on top of the bremsstrahlung continuum, as predicted by Hyman was observed around 7.44 microns.
