Abstract
Discharge currents which flow in carefully distilled hexane on the removal of the applied potential were investigated for predischarge stresses ranging from 10–750 kV/cm. The duration and shape of the discharge characteristics were found to depend on the electrode material, on the surface state of the cathode, and on the predischarge stress. It is believed that the discharge currents are the result of a redistribution of charges in the gap in the absence of an external field. Using a model based on the theory of simple diffusion within a liquid bulk, an equation is developed which shows good agreement with the experimental results.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
