The successive production of striations in a glow discharge in hydrogen
The manner of successive production of striations moving from the cathode to the anode in a glow discharge in hydrogen is experimentally investigated. For this purpose use is made of the method of an artificially produced transient process in the positive column. It is shown that the fundamental phenomenon in the production of these striations, similarly as with an inert gas, is the wave of stratification. The wave of stratification in hydrogen, however, differs from that tn the plasma of an inert gas in the direction of motion of the striations. This direction in a hydrogen discharge is the same as the direction of the successive production of striations, i.e., from cathode to anode. The phenomenological theory of the successive production of moving striations elaborated earlier ts also applicable for the wave of stratification in hydrogen.
