Abstract
The characteristic microstructures of supercritical fluids, such as density fluctuation near the critical point, in reaction fields induced by low-temperature plasma were investigated by using Raman spectroscopy. It was found that the decrease in the density of CO2 during plasma generation was less than 0.02 g/cm> (critical density of CO 2:0.467 g/ cm3), when compared to the decrease in density of pure CO2 for a wide pressure range from gaseous to supercritical conditions. Moreover, it was experimentally verified that the density fluctuation observed near the critical point persists in the reaction field.
