The influence of oscillations on ionization in a discharge path
Journal Article
·
· Czechoslovak Journal of Physics
The problem of gas ionization in a discharge path in a very dilute gas is solved, where the free path of the electrons is much larger than the dimensions of the path and the transit time of the electrons between the electrodes is of the order of the period of the applied h-f voltage. It is found that for a certain ratio of the transit time of the electrons between the electrodes in the discharge path to the period of the h-f oscillation, resonance occurs when the reactive current component is zero. The electron density rises in the path and thus also the gas ionization.
