Abstract
A low‐frequency oscillation excited when a low‐pressure mercury dc discharge is illuminated near the first thermal Tonks‐Dattner resonance with a moderately powerful microwave field has been investigated. It was found to be a relaxation oscillation involving enhanced ionization and coupling of the plasma column to the microwave circuit.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
