Abstract

It is shown that an increase in the temperature of a quartz discharge tube with a protective layer of rare earth metal oxides on the inner surface leads to a decrease in the burning time of a low-pressure arc discharge in inert gases. In this case, the dominant mechanism that leads to a decrease in the burning time is the loss of electron emission because of the complete sputtering of the emitting material of the oxide electrodes.
