HIGH-VOLTAGE GLOW DISCHARGES IN D$sub 2$ GAS. III. STARTING POTENTIAL THEORY

Journal Article · · Physical Review (U.S.) Superseded in part by Phys. Rev. A, Phys. Rev. B: Solid State, Phys. Rev. C, and Phys. Rev. D
A theoretical treatment of the left branch of the Paschen urve for parallel plate discharges in D/sub 2/ gas is presented for potentials at 5 to 120 kv. The effect of electrons back;attered from the anode is considered and found to be ignificant. The Paschen curve is extremely sensitive to we secondary emission coefficient at low energies. The ign of the slope of the Paschen curve depends on the nergy dependence of the secondary emission coefficient. auth)
