Abstract
An extensive study of the cataphoretic segregation in six neon-argon mixtures (Ar % ranging from 0.025 to 1.03) has been made by means of a mass-spectrometer. All data were taken at one and the same gas temperature (370 K). The change over from a linear to an exponential decay of the argon concentration with distance from the cathode, as predicted by theory for large and small argon concentrations respectively, is experimentally verified. It is further shown, that for high admixture concentrations the measured dependence of cataphoresis on gas pressure (range 3–20 torr) and discharge current (range 20–100 mA) is consistent with the theoretically predicted proportional dependences. For low impurity concentration, cataphoresis in neon-argon mixtures is found to improve strongly with pressure, while the segregation at low currents increases with current and saturates at high currents.
