摘要
The influence of the He, Ne and Ar on Xe plasma pumped by capillary discharge process is studied theoretically and experimentally. The charge-state populations and average ionization of Xe as a function of electron temperature for pure Xe and mixed gases are calculated with a collision-radiation model. The emission of Xe10+ 4d(8)-4d(7)5p 13.5 nm in 2% bandwidth is obtained by a EUV emission monitor (E-Mon). Additional He/Ne/Ar gas can influence on the time scale and the intensity of the appearance for the E-Mon signals by effecting the electron density and temperature.
