Abstract
THERE is now a considerable literature dealing with analysis of arcs, and of glow discharges from a hot cathode, in which Langmuir's improved method of using an exploring electrode has been employed. It has been shown by one of us that, as would be expected, the same method can be applied to the glow discharge between cold electrodes (Proc. Camb. Phil. Soc., 23, p. 531; 1927). This work was of a preliminary nature, and the results were, to a certain extent, ambiguous. We have now repeated the experiments under better conditions, in argon, and have confirmed the earlier results.
