High-Frequency Glow Discharge | Nature


Play all audios:

ABSTRACT IT is a well-known fact that it is possible to maintain high-frequency glow discharges at very low voltages. A discharge tube having as internal electrodes two discs at a distance


of one or two centimetres and containing neon at a pressure of a few millimetres of mercury, shows the lowest values of the maintaining potential if the frequency is about 108 cycles. Values


between 10 and 15 volts (peak-value) are readily obtained. At lower frequencies the minimum maintaining potential increases until at frequencies of the order of 106 cycles more normal


values are reached, which do not differ much from the values obtained with direct current and low frequencies. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of
