Theorie des oscillations spontanees dans les tubes a vapeur de mercure a cathode chaude (Theory of Spontaneous Oscillations in Mercury Vapor Hot-Cathode Discharge Tubes)
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.
