Abstract

Discharge characteristics and emission spectra of the discharges in low-temperature liquid such as liquid helium have been measured to investigate the conditions for fabrication of carbon nanomaterial by arc discharge in low-temperature liquid. Measurements of the discharge characteristics of the resulting plasma and observation of the associated optical emission spectra show that the behaviour of discharge current over time and the associated spectra depend strongly on discharge voltage and both may be related to the temperature of the carbon target. However, discharge voltage and current with time are almost the same regardless of whether the liquid is pure water, liquid nitrogen, liquid helium and superfluid liquid helium
