Abstract
We have investigated the effects of electrons and ions on the discoloration of PCI using VI-Au and VI-Pt indicators as the probe to detect these actions visually. The actions of the electron and ion in DC plasma were distinguished by VI-Pt. The discoloration action to VI-Au by the action of the electron in rf plasma was similar to the discoloration action by a heat reaction. In addition, the effects of electrons and ions on the discoloration of PCI are slight when it is applied in the radio frequency plasma of 13.56 MHz.
