And yes, I forgot, Paschen curves are for homogeneous electric fields, which we do not have in Nixie tubes.

Jens

Jens, thanks again.

I'm new here, but I feel that I'm in right place!
People trying to make nixies!!!  Wow I'm exited like a child! :):):)
I don't know what is Pashen curves, but from the wiki first glance I understand what do you mean, is exactly the correlation formula, except that we do not use full sheets of metal. ...Iron nickel alloys maybe you know what kind of alloy and what is the best choice?

Dan.

    Hi Daniil,

    some use iron, some use an iron-nickel alloy, I am trying
    stainless steel. I cannot answer your second question, but do you
    know Paschen curves? These will give you the ballpark.

    Jens


    Hi Jens,

    Thanks for fast answer, the second thing I'm looking for is
    information about metals used in cathodes and anode, and
    correlation between size of the electrodes and distances between
    them.

    Thanks in advance,
    Daniil.

        Hi,

        it is a Penning mixture of 1% Argon in 99% Neon (of course),
        but you can just as easily work with Neon, only the ignition
        voltage will be a little higher. Typical pressures are around
        20 Torr or 30 mbar.

        Hello, I'm searching for the same book for the same purpose.
        I want to make nixie tube by myself. I have all information
        about the glassblowing process and metal-glass seals,
        but have no information about gas mixtures and pressures.
        So I will appreciate if anyone can help.

        Thanks,
        Daniil.
