Abstract
The electron temperature on the central axis of a discharge established in a mixture of sodium, mercury, and xenon gases at about 600 Torr pressure was measured by detection of radio−frequency thermal noise. The deduced value of 4200 °K compares favorably with determinations by spectroscopic methods and theoretical calculations.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
