Abstract
A zeolite plate with push contacts is placed in a chamber filled with air at a controllable pressure, and the current-voltage characteristics of the zeolite plate are measured as a function of the air pressure in the chamber. It is found that the gas in zeolite pores ionizes and, accordingly, the number of electrons in the pores grows. It is shown that such a plate used as a cathode in a planar gas-discharge cell considerably reduces the ignition voltage of the gas discharge.
