Sets of spectral lines for spectrographic thermometry and manometry in d.c. arcs of geologic materials

January 1, 1977

Sets of 5 Fe(I) lines and 3 Ti(I)Ti(II) line pairs have been characterized for precise spectrographic thermometry and manometry, respectively, in d.c. arcs of geologic materials. The recommended lines are free of spectral interferences, exhibit minimal self absorption within defined concentration intervals, and are useful for chemically-unaltered silicate rocks, arced in an argon-oxygen stream. The functional character of these lines in thermometry and manometry of d.c. arcs for evaluations of electrical parameter effects, for temporal studies, and for matrix-effect investigations on real samples is illustrated. ?? 1977.
