Abstract:Ionization wave frequency spectra and their spatial distribution along argon and neon plasma positive columns are detected by microwaves in the 8–18 GHz frequency band. The plasmas are created at medium pressure by d.c. discharges in narrow tubes. Detection takes place in a rectangular waveguide on the microwave fields reflected and transmitted by plasma columns which are placed transversely across the waveguide in different positions and at several values of the discharge current. The frequency of the microwa… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
