Electronic apparatus has been developed to determine the rate of decay of the 16 volt levels of neon after the interruption of an electrical discharge, by measurement of the absorption of a monochromatic light beam. The half life of the 3P2 metastable level has been determined as a function of pressure and discharge tube diameter. The 3P0 and 3P1 levels exhibit a pronounced departure from an exponential decay. The hypothesis of the imprisonment of resonance radiation is consistent with the measured duration of the 1P1 and 3P1 levels.

Reactions of oxygen activated by electrical discharge with butene-1 have been studied in a "spherical diffusion" reaction zone. When small concentrations of oxygen are passed through the discharge tube in helium as the carrier gas, and the concentration of butene-1 in the reaction zone is sufficiently high, the observed products are entirely explainable by an interaction of the ground-state oxygen atoms with butene-1. With large deviations from these conditions considerable complexities arise, and under some conditions α-butylene ozonide and its decomposition products become important and the products are then explainable without any significant participation of oxygen atoms in the process.


When compounds of carbon and oxygen are excited to luminosity in vacuum tubes, they give rise to a large number of band systems, depending upon the conditions of electrical discharge. Most of these systems have been discussed by various authors, and on the basis of the theory of hand spectra have been attributed to transitions between different states of the molecule CO. Details of these systems, including those ascribed to the ionized molecule CO + , have been conveniently summarised by Jevons and by Kayser and Konen. Another band system (Deslandres' second negative) which occurs under favourable conditions has been attributed by Bair, and by Fox, Duffendack and Barker to the triatomic molecule CO 2 , since the bands appear most strongly in CO 2 , and are especially developed when a stream of this gas is passing through the discharge tube. The suggested CO 2 origin of these bands appears to be supported Smith's partial analysis of their structure.

The attack, on the surface of a polymer, by the atomic, molecular and ionic species that are created in a low pressure electrical discharge in a gas is interesting because: 1) significant interior morphological features may be revealed, 2) dielectric breakdown of polymeric insulation on high voltage power distribution lines involves the attack on the polymer of such species created in a corona discharge, 3) adhesive bonds formed between polymer surfaces subjected to such SDecies are much stronger than bonds between untreated surfaces, 4) the chemical modification of the surface creates a reactive surface to which a thin layer of another polymer may be bonded by glow discharge polymerization.
