Abstract Densities of N, H, and NH active species have been detected by laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) in N2-xH2 dc flowing discharges. A peak value of N atom densities far x = 0.2–0.5% and a plateau value of H atom densities between x = 1% and 90% in post-discharge conditions (Δ∼0.05 sec, p = 2 torr) has been found. Comparison between LIF measurements of N atoms and the trend of the N2(B, v = II) population shows that the emission from this state can be used for monitoring N atoms. The NH radical has only been detected inside the discharge region.
