Abstract:
The theory of spontaneous oscillations in mercury vapor hot-cathode discharge tubes is described. In this oscilllation three phases may be distinguished 1 Penetration of the anode sheath 2 Excess ionization following the penetration obeying the law of small variations around a stable equilibrium 3 Increased voltage drop at the anode following the disappearance of the excess ionization according to the theory of hangmuir probes. When the voltage drop at the anode sheath acquires a sufficient value a new penetration occurs and the cycle repeats. New experimental results are in excellent agreement with theory.
