Comment on “Excitation and ionization processes of chlorine in molybdenum dichloride dioxide flakes using the glow discharge mass spectrometry technique” by S. Mushtaq, J. Anal. At. Spectrom., 2022, 37, 584
Abstract
The charge transfer reaction between neutral molybdenum atoms and argon ions in an argon glow discharge with a molybdenum cathode was identified in the Mo II emission spectrum as a significant ionization mechanism of molybdenum in this type of discharge. The ACT-excited Mo II levels decay by 21 lines in the range of 171–176 nm.
