| Abstract | Summary form only given. A time dependent model of the negative glow plasma of an electroded, low pressure, Hg/rare gas discharge is used to study the behavior of the cathode/anode fall in fluorescent lamps. The model is used with, and results compared to, measurements from a mm-wave (150 GHz) interferometer and from probes located inside specially-constructed lamps. The behavior of cathode fall is of particular interest since it is responsible for sustaining the plasma in the electrode region by 1) accelerating thermionically-emitted electrons from electrode to plasma (so-called beam electrons) to energies sufficient to maintain ionized particle density and 2) accelerating ions from plasma to electrode to energies sufficient to maintain the high electrode temperature necessary for thermionic emission. A consequence of the latter is that the ions may induce sputtering of the workfunction-lowering emitter material, a process which may limit lamp life and cause undesirable end-darkening effects. The model is represented by coupled 1-D (radially averaged) electron particle and energy balance equations and a 0-D model of the sheath. The plasma model is a time dependent generalization of previous models whereby Maxwellian plasma electrons are created through ionization and excitation of atoms by a separate mono-energetic, beam electron species (with energy corresponding to the sheath potential). Inclusion of the electron energy balance allows for describing a smooth transition to the positive column plasma. Eight excited state levels of mercury are included. The sheath model characterizes the sheath potential and the electric field at the electrode surface as functions of the plasma parameters at an idealized plasma/sheath boundary. The surface electric field provides for the full, Schottky-corrected, thermionic emission current. The sheath model is similar to that of a standard Langmuir sheath, but includes the space-charge effects of the beam electrons. Total current, given as the sum of beam electron, plasma electron, and ion currents, is conserved and set equal to the (specified) discharge current |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
