Effect of small quantities of oxygen in a neon glow discharge by Mushtaq, Sohail, Steers, Edward B. M., Pickering, Juliet C., Weinstein, Viktoria

“…Whilst neon is too costly for routine use in analytical GD spectrometry, such studies help the interpretation of the excitation and ionization processes taking place in the discharge. In all GD, Penning ionization (PI) of analyte atoms, asymmetric charge transfer (ACT) and Penning excitation (PE) of analyte ions have significant roles in populating excited ionized levels, so the higher energy of the neon metastable states and the higher ionization energy compared to argon have a major effect on the appearance of the copper spectrum. …”
