Electric Discharge In Gases

The phenomena of the electric discharge in gases excite a wide­ spread interest at the present time. It could hardly be otherwise ; for although our knowledge of electric manifestations is increasing in all directions, we cannot be assured of the correctness of our ex­planations while the mysterious appearance of the gas discharge remains unexplained.

Electric Discharge In Gases

In a paper entitled "Duration of Luminosity of Electric Discharge in Gases and Vapours," reference was made to a known phenomenon shown by the mercury arc in vacuo : when mercury is allowed to distil away from a mercury lamp into a lateral tube sealed on to it, the rapidly moving vapour carries its luminosity for a long distance out of the electric field. It was shown how effects not essentially different might be obtained with mercury, and other metals also, using not the arc, but the leyden jar spark between poles of the metal; but this method, owing to the intermittence of the sparks and the small scale of the effects, is far less satisfactory than the use of the arc. At the time of writing the paper cited, I thought that it would be very difficult to extend the use of the arc to metals less volatile than mercury, but the problem has proved more tractable than was expected 2. Method of Experimenting-Apparatus used . The vessel in which the arc is confined will be called, for convenience, a lamp, though it is not used directly as a source of light.

The results of mass spectrometric studies of the energy state of hydrogen molecules with the usage of the electron impact ionization efficiency curves measurement method, both during desorption and in the mode of hydrogen flowing through the metal hydride layer, are presented. The dependences of the breakdown voltage on the pressure in the gas-discharge chamber for an electric discharge in activated hydrogen are obtained. Those dependencies indicate a significant decrease in the ionization potential of hydrogen under the electric current influence. Within the framework of the presented material, the results of hydrogen emission from hydride-forming materials based on LaNi5 are presented and an assessment of its thermodynamic state is given, which made it possible to study the energy-physical characteristics of gas-discharge processes. The possibility of practical use of metal hydride activation to increase the energy and operational efficiency of electric-discharge hydrogen systems is shown.
