Abstract
It is demonstrated that field ionization mass spectrometry has a potential application for the detection of neutral species involved in organic plasmas. In FI mass spectra of r.f. glow discharge plasmas of aromatic compounds, reaction products were detected mainly at higher mass regions, reflecting that polymerization reactions were leading processes in these plasmas. For olefine compounds, on the other hand, signals due to reaction products appeared in a wide mass range, thus indicating that decomposition reactions, too, were strongly enhanced in the plasmas of these compounds.
