THE PRODUCTION OF VISIBLE LIGHT BY THE THORIA-CERIA MANTLE; PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND A PROPOSED THEORY OF THE OCCURING MECHANISMS AND PROCESSES

Abstract

An explanation of the production of visible light by a thoria-ceria mantle is presented. It is proposed that the thoria acts as a chemical catalyst and localizes the exothermic reaction within the mantle structure.
