Abstract
ACTIVE nitrogen has been generally investigated at pressures of several tenths of an mm. The majority of workers have used either a condensed or electrodeless discharge to produce the active species1. These two methods have been favoured to such an extent that little has been done to investigate other possibilities. However, work on the active gas at pressures above several mm. requires more efficient methods of production.
