Self-alignment and conductivity of a glow discharge

Abstract

A magnetically induced resonance of the conductivity is analysed within the frames of self-aligned atomic states in a hollow cathode discharge. The resonance ΔU(B0) arises when the magnetic induction applied B0 destroys the self-alignment. The value of ΔU(B0) characterizes the difference in the conductivity of both self-aligned and non-aligned atomic ensembles. Generally, all self-aligned atomic states contribute to the resonance measured. This study is an attempt to specify the contribution of NeI levels 1s5 and 1s4 to the resonance ΔU(B0). Selective light depopulation of these levels is accomplished by using irradiating λ = 640.2 nm and λ = 638.3 nm.

Spatially Resolved Profile and Shift of the Spectral Line in a Hollow Cathode Discharge

“…R. According to Alexandrov et al [13] and Nedelec [14] it means magnetic destruction of the self-alignment. [15] CONCLUSIONS A method is proposed to display the radial behavior of the profile of the emission line in a hollow cathode discharge.…”
