Abstract

It has been found that while the highly nonuniform direct current breakdown voltage Vs of H2 exceeds that of D2, the Vs of CH4 is substantially lower than that of CD4. The former (direct) and the latter (inverse) isotope effects are discussed, respectively, in connection with differences in the ionization coefficients and electron-impact-induced dissociation processes of the isotopic pairs of molecules.
