OSTI ID:6054352
The features of the positive column of a moderate-pressure glow discharge are considered: steady independent and nonindependent variable current and a discharge in disintegrating plasma. It is shown that the inhomogeneity of the plasma along the direction of the current must be taken into account in describing the mechanism of current flow.
