The anode current-voltage characteristics of inert-gas-filed triodes have sbown current maxima at applied anode voltages corresponding to the first exdcied potentials of the ambient gases. With increasing gas pressure the current peaks become remarkable. These phenomena are peculiar to heavy rare gases such as xenon and krypton and are not observed in argon, neon or helium. By using this negative resistance as a circuit element, experiments on oscillation are made and the maximum frequncies obtained was 50 Mc/s. The current peak disappears when a few percent gas of diatomic molecules are mixed in the main gases. It is proposed that this unusual electronic conduction through neutral-rare gases is due to an anomaly concerning the scattering process between electrons and metastable atoms similar to the Ramsauer effect.
