Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
A supersonic argon and argon-hydrogen (3-5%) plasma jet generated by an induction plasma torch is studied by means of the methods of optical emission spectroscopy. The torch was operated at the input power of 20 kW and near atmospheric pressure. The supersonic jet with a periodic structure of expansion and compression zones is created by expanding the plasma through the Laval nozzle into a chamber maintained at the pressure around 1.8 kPa. Atomic argon lines with the upper level energies ranging from 13.3 to 15.5 eV, continuum emission and H line profile are used to evaluate plasma parameters such as temperature and electron number density. Analysis based on the Boltzmann diagram, line-to-continuum ratio, population of continuum extrapolated level and Stark broadening reveals various stages of departure from thermodynamic equilibrium in the plasma flow. It is shown, among others, that the temperature derived from Boltzmann diagram does not follow the jet structure and reliable determination of electron temperature is questionable. An addition of several percent of hydrogen results in a significant quenching of populations of atomic states and nonequilibrium behaviour of continuum radiation.
