This is a AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSONAFB OH SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release.

It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. A glow discharge is a plasma formed by the passage of electric current through a gas.

It is often created by applying a voltage between two electrodes in a glass tube containing a low-pressure gas. When the voltage exceeds a value called the striking voltage, the gas ionization becomes self-sustaining, and the tube glows with a colored light.

The color depends on the gas used. The plasma-dust structures in strata in a glow discharge exposed to a longitudinal magnetic field are studied in detail. In a weakly ordered structure, the angular velocity has a vertical gradient. longitudinal space charge effect requires attentions. Such a space charge effect has been studied both analytically and using computer simulations.

The longitudinal space charge effect, which is a defocusing force below transition, is a plausible source of the bunch leakage. In this article, the total RF. The production of a classical Coulomb crystal for the first time in a DC glow discharge plasma along with crystal characterisation and dependence on discharge parameters have been reported in.

Fundamental Glow Discharge Processes The fundamental processes occurring in the discharge define a number of discrete regions. In this article, only three regions – the cathode dark space, the negative glow, and the anode region – are defined, because the File Size: 1MB.

the space shunted) and the term of diffusion (of the 2nd rank with regard to the space shunted). In glow discharge, the space charge due to the ions and electrons presence is sufficient to distort the geometrical electric field. This phenomenon should be described by coupling the equations of electric and.

The generated charge by the first discharge grows linearly from × 10 − 7 to × 10 − 7 C with increasing voltage pulse duration. The released charge in second discharge also grows with voltage pulse duration when it is shorter than ns and its magnitude is a little lower than that of first by: 2.

Tiny pulses of current are used to detect ionizing radiation in a Geiger–Müller tube.A low steady current can be used to illustrate the spectrum of gases in a gas-filled tube.A neon lamp is an example of a gas-discharge lamp, useful both for illumination and as a voltage regulator.

quasineutral positive column of a self-sustained glow discharge in nitrogen. The process occurs in a rectangular duct with convective cooling [23,24] and is described by the 2D model of current contraction. If the contraction develops in a tube, [2,5,8] a cylindrical model with axial symmetry is more accurate.

For experiments [9,16]. The initiation and characteristics of a low-pressure glow discharge in air in large-diameter discharge tubes are studied. A deviation from the Paschen law is observed: the breakdown curves U dc(pL) shift toward the higher values of U dc and pL as the interelectrode distance L increases.

It is shown that the normal regime of a glow discharge is accompanied by gas ionization in the anode by: Electric Discharge in Gases the passage of electric current through a gaseous medium under the action of an electric field, accompanied by changes in the state of the gas. Because of numerous existing factors, there are many kinds of electric discharges in gases.

A formula for discharge current flowing in a space charge filled gap is derived for a general geometry of electrodes from the energy balance equation in which the displacement current caused by the motion of the charged particles in the gap is taken into account.

It is found that in the formula obtained the influence of the field component. An upper limit to the amplitude of the overall density fluctuation has been found by means of the gravitational lensing effect of the density inhomogeneity on the luminosities of quasars with larger redshifts.

The observed differences of luminosities of quasars located at different directions are partially given by the lensing effect, therefore, a useful upper limit to the inhomogeneity can be Cited by: 2.

Discharge consequences include noise in both data and wiring. Arcing, although seen as the primary mechanism by which spacecraft charging disturbs mission activities, is not the only consequence of spacecraft charging.
