Abstract

A model of the glow gas discharge cathode sheath under the presence of a thin insulating film on the cathode surface is formulated, in which the field electron emission from the cathode metal substrate into the film is taken into account. It is shown that the voltage–current characteristic of such discharge is weakly growing or falling, and this can be a cause of experimentally observed its instability.

阴极表面绝缘膜对辉光气体放电的电压-电流特性影响的建模

摘要

建立了在阴极表面上存在绝缘薄膜的情况下的辉光气体放电阴极鞘的模型，其中考虑了从阴极金属基板到薄膜中的场电子发射。结果表明，这种放电的电压-电流特性微弱地增长或下降，这可能是实验观察到其不稳定的原因。
