Abstract

Desirable electron attachment and electron drift characteristics of gases for possible use in diffuse-discharge switches are indicated. Gas mixtures for possible use in externally sustained (e- beam) diffuse-discharge switches are suggested on the basis of electron attachment rate constants and electron drift velocities measured as a function of the density-normalized electric field E/N. Of particular promise are mixtures of Ar and C₃F₈.
