Sg. Ekhanin et Ns. Nesmelov, APPARATUS FOR LOW-TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS OF MICRON LAYERS OF ALKAL-HALIDE CRYSTALS UNDER SUPERSTRONG ELECTRIC-FIELD, Instruments and experimental techniques, 37(3), 1994, pp. 377-379
An apparatus for studying electron and ion processes in alkali-halide
crystals under high and superhigh electric fields and at low temperatu
res (down to that of liquid nitrogen) has been designed. It features a
low-pressure plasma electrode. In tests the low-temperature electrolu
minescence of rock salt was studied for the first time.
