Abstract
RECENT observations in this laboratory1,2 have indicated a wide and unusual spectrum of effects which can be obtained from a radio-frequency source in the megacycle range. In order to minimize dielectric heating, it was necessary to reduce the mean power input and therefore we have used a pulsed radio-frequency source at 27 Mc./s. The pulses are of the order of 5 × 10−5 sec. Most of the effects described herein are produced with between 80 and 180 pulses per sec.
