NE-2 type neon lamp powered by alternating current Glow discharge in a low-pressure tube caused by electric current. A glow discharge is a plasma formed by the passage of electric current through a gas. It is often created by applying a voltage between two electrodes in a glass tube containing a low-pressure gas.
Glow-discharge optical emission spectroscopy (GDOES) is a spectroscopic method for the quantitative analysis of metals and other non-metallic solids. The idea was published and patented in 1968 by Werner Grimm from Hanau, Germany .
Glow discharge is a technique in polymerization which forms free electrons which gain energy from an electric field, and then lose energy through collisions with neutral molecules in the gas phase. This leads to many chemically reactive species, which then leads to a plasma polymerization reaction. [ 6 ]
An atmospheric pressure discharge is an electrical discharge in air or another gas at atmospheric pressure. [1]An electrical discharge in a gas forms plasma.Plasmas are sustained if there is a continuous inflow of energy to maintain the required degree of ionization by counterbalancing the recombination events that lead to extinction of the discharge.
Nitrogen glow Oxygen glow Electrical discharge in air Particle beam from a cyclotron. Ionized-air glow is the luminescent emission of characteristic blue–purple–violet light, often of a color called electric blue, by air subjected to an energy flux either directly or indirectly from solar radiation.

At lower currents, the area of the electrodes covered by the glow discharge is proportional to the current. At higher currents the normal glow turns into abnormal glow, the voltage across the tube gradually increases, and the glow discharge covers more and more of the surface of the electrodes. Low-power switching (glow-discharge thyratrons ...
