Current-voltage characteristics and spatially resolved atomic emission data are used to describe the basic operation of a magnetron glow discharge plasma device. The low-pressure glow discharge lamp uses a center-post cathode and a concentric ring-shaped anode. A coaxial magnetic field of a few hundred Gauss is used to achieve magnetron operation where plasma electrons are trapped in closed paths which are concentric with the electrode structure. This results in dramatic changes in the radiative and electrical properties of the device. With constant current, lamp operating voltage may be reduced by more than a factor of two when the magnetic field is present. The effects of filler gas pressure and magnetic field strength on the current-voltage characteristics are presented. The presence of the magnetic field results in a radial contraction of the plasma. This contraction increases with increasing field strength and with decreasing pressure. Ion lines from the Ar filler gas are more affected by the field than are neutral-atom lines from the cathode material.

For the Uragan-2M stellarator, a glow discharge cleaning (GDC) system is developed. An overview of the GDC system design is presented. The first experimental studies of GDC in an argon atmosphere have been carried out. The dependence of the breakdown voltage on the argon pressure is determined. The current-voltage characteristics of the gas discharge were measured as a function of the working gas pressure also in presence of a magnetic field.

We have measured the differential current-voltage characteristics of normal metal-NbSe3 direct point contacts (without insulating barrier) formed along different crystallographic orientations under applied magnetic field with different orientations. At low temperature two energy gaps, $\Delta_{p1}$ and $\Delta_{p2}$, corresponding to the high and the low-temperature CDW were observed simultaneously as a singulanty of the excess resistance which is attributed to an analog of Andreev reflection, in which the incident electron reflects on the Peierls energy gap barriers with its charge unchanged. An applied magnetic field up to 8.5 T does not lead to a change in the density of states and in the Peierls energy gaps, suggesting that the large magnetoresistance observed in NbSe3 might not result from the change in the CDW order parameter with magnetic field but rather from the increase of scattering of non-condensed to CDW carriers.

The nonlinear response of the superconductor of the Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O system in the temperature range of the superconducting transition under the action of a harmonic alternating magnetic field is experimentally studied. For multiphase superconductors having in their volume regions with distinct critical temperatures, the effect of odd harmonics in the response signal is observed. The contribution of crystallites and the system of weak bonds between the crystallites in the nonlinear response is singled out. It was found that the nonlinear properties of the investigated samples in the resistive state are determined mainly by the nonlinear current-voltage characteristics of the system of weak bonds between the crystallites.
