High-frequency Discharge in Organic Vapours

Nature volume 124, page 654 (1929)Cite this article

Abstract

WHILE studying the rectification effect in some organic vapours, when ionised by electrodeless discharge, striations unlike the general type obtained by McCallum and Perry (NATURE, Jan. 12, p. 48) were observed to fill the whole tube. The diameter of the tube was different at different parts, varying from 0.5 cm. to 2.5 cm., but there was observed no essential difference in the pattern any-where excepting their increased luminosity in the narrower portion.
