摘要: Spectroscopic measurements were made of the population excited states in a low-voltage, low-temperature, open caesium plasma diode. Such device is under certain conditions seen to run special mode that essentially different from ordinary mode. This mode, which has been called Rydberg current exhibits many interesting features, such as very strong electron emission cold hot electrode. The objective present study was investigate and compare two modes. spectral line intensities excitation temperatures upper found differ considerably although current, voltage electrode comparable.
