Abstract
A novel pulse technique has been developed for measuring conduction currents due to millisecond, microsecond, and submicrosecond pulses of voltage. Using this method, a study has been made of conduction currents in liquid n‐hexane at fields from 0.1 to 1.4 Mv/cm and at gap spacings from 2.5 to 25 mils. No evidence for electron multiplication was obtained at fields below 1.25 mv/cm, but there are marginal indications of the beginning of an α‐process above 1.3 Mv/cm.Keywords
