Progress In Low Pressure Mercury–Rare-Gas Discharge Research

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the three broad areas of activity that have dominated scene in low-pressure mercury-rare-gas discharge (LPD) during last decade. There are several LPD research where significant has taken place recently. The explains modeling discharge, altered and diagnostics. Modeling describes general formulation problem applicable to a collision-controlled positive column discharge. They both steady state time dependent conditions until electron inertia displacement current effects become important. Altered approaches inherently try alter or some parameter it includes isotope magnetic effects, introduction recombination structures into column, altering volt-ampere characteristic high frequency operation surface waves common attempting traditional therefore providing new insights physics Diagnostics an integral part lamp development engineering. It is only natural from very early on employed optical nondestructive, nonintrusive techniques such as emission absorption spectroscopy.
