Plasma column in a gas with a light impurity
It is shown that in a mixture of heavy and light gases the formation of a plasma column, whose hot region contains primarily ions of the light particles is possible, i.e., the heavy particles are removed from the gas in the plasma column. If the concentration of light particles in the gas far from the column is sufficiently small compared with that of the heavy particles, then the consumption of HF radiation power supplied to the column is a factor of (Ml/M2)1/2 smaller than that in experiments with a pure, light gas. (Μ, and M2 are the masses of the heavy and light particles, respectively.)
