Development of a Heated Graphite Hollow-Cathode Discharge Tube for the Study of Molecular Spectra

摘要

The first part of this report points out the principal references giving this way a survey of the numerous fields of application of the hollow-cathode discharge. The second part is devoted to the description of a hollow-cathode discharge the cathode of which is a heated graphite furnace. This installation was developed with the aim of bringing some contribution to the knowledge of carbonaceous molecules of special interest for astrophysics. (Author)
