The majority of the credit for this book on nuclear-pumped lasers (NPLs) goes to its original
Russian authors. I (George H. Miley) became the contributing American co-author when I …

The relative flux of negative ions from rf discharges through CF4 and F2‐He has been
studied using mass spectrometry. The negative ion flux impinging on a surface in contact …

The peak and time averaged electron density in rf excited silane-helium mixtures increased
significantly above the cw value by square wave modulating the source. The deposition rate …

Microwave diagnostic techniques have been used to measure the radiation temperature and
electron density in parallel‐plate capacitively coupled radio‐frequency (2.5 MHz) …

Studies of electron density are reported for a quiescent neon-argon gas plasma. gen~ ra~
ed by fis~ ion fragments in the core of a nuclear reactor. Reaction kinetic equati? ns for~ he …

It is well established that lasing of atomic nitrogen and carbon can be obtained during the
afterglow of an electrical discharge in gas mixtures of either neon or helium containing low …

Optical absorption measurements of metastable densities in plasmas of He, Ne, and He–Ne
are reported. The plasmas were created through bombardment of the gases by the products …

Measurements of excited state and electron densities in noble and atmospheric gas
plasmas created by intense sources of nuclear radiation have been made. A 1/2 Ci. Po-210 …

The plasma produced in a gas filled microwave cavity has been studied by subjecting the
cavity to the intense gamma fields present during pulsing operation of a TRIGA nuclear …

Recent studies of the effects of ionizing radiation on microwave Gunn oscillators have
neglected the effect of the ionizing radiation on the gas inside the microwave cavities used …
