Abstract
Capacitive (E) to inductive (H) mode transition dynamics in radio frequency (RF) argon inductively coupled plasmas (ICPs) with up to atmospheric pressure is studied experimentally. High-speed imaging (13500 fps) is performed to investigate the transition dynamics, and to estimate the characteristic time scale of E-H mode transition. The effect of diatomic gas inclusion (here N2) on the E-H mode transition dynamics is also discussed.
