| contents | The article presents an original spectroscopic method for determining the initial stage of the clustering process in supersonic jets. The technique has been tested on a supersonic argon jet excited by electrons at a distance of 30 millimetres from the nozzle outlet, where the clustering process is practically complete, and the influence of secondary processes on the intensity of the observed emissions is significantly suppressed. It is proposed to use the continuum emitted by neutral excited clusters with a wavelength of 127 nm as an indicator of cluster formation in a supersonic argon jet under various flow conditions. Analysis of the temperature dependence of the intensity of this continuum recorded at multiple argon pressures at the nozzle inlet allowed us to establish that the parameters of supersonic jet flow corresponding to the onset of crystallisation are related by the empirical expression. The calculated value of the constant for argon in the studied range of pressures and temperatures was 0.011. |
