摘要
Low-frequency (approximately 500- approximately 2000 Hz) oscillations are detected in a double-plasma device in association with double layers in which the potential drop somewhat exceeds the ionisation potential of the gas. The oscillations are interpreted as ion-acoustic waves excited by an ionisation instability. A simple theory of the instability is presented and its results are compared with observations. © 1990 IOP Publishing Ltd.
