A spectroscopic technique is described for measuring the temperature of phosphorescent particles suspended in a low pressure rf plasma. The particles are found to be slightly hotter than the neutral gas temperature. This result is consistent with models of particle heating in a low pressure discharge. Also, we report on an entrainment device for introducing the phosphorescent particles (or other types of particles) into a discharge.
