Jl. Hernandezavila et al., HOT-ELECTRON PHENOMENA IN LIQUID AND GASEOUS AR AND N2 IN DIVERGENT ELECTRIC-FIELDS, IEEE transactions on dielectrics and electrical insulation, 1(3), 1994, pp. 412-418
A comparative study of electrical conduction and emitted light in an a
tomic (Ar) and a molecular liquid (N2) is presented as a function of v
arious parameters. From the spectroscopic analysis of emitted light (i
n the range 200 to 850 nm), the energy of the hot electrons in these l
iquids may be measured. A simultaneous study was carried out on dense
gases as a function of the applied pressure. We discuss the electron s
warm parameters deduced from these results, in an attempt to explain t
he behavior of electrons in the gas-liquid phase transition.
