Although some neon lamps themselves are now antiques, and their use in electronics has declined markedly, the technology has continued to develop in artistic and entertainment contexts. [11] [20] Neon lighting technology has been reshaped from long tubes into thin flat panels used for plasma displays and plasma television sets. [3]
A General Electric NE-34 glow lamp, manufactured circa 1930. Neon was discovered in 1898 by William Ramsay and Morris Travers.The characteristic, brilliant red color that is emitted by gaseous neon when excited electrically was noted immediately; Travers later wrote, "the blaze of crimson light from the tube told its own story and was a sight to dwell upon and never forget."
Some "neon" tubes are made without phosphor coatings for some of the colors. Clear tubing filled with neon gas produces the ubiquitous yellowish orange color with the interior plasma column clearly visible, and is the cheapest and simplest tube to make.
A plasma ball with filaments extending between the inner and outer spheres. A plasma ball, plasma globe, or plasma lamp is a clear glass container filled with noble gases, usually a mixture of neon, krypton, and xenon, that has a high-voltage electrode in the center of the container.
SiF 2 Ne 2+ can be made from neon and SiF 2+ 3 using mass spectrometer technology. SiF 2 Ne 2+ has a bond from neon to silicon. SiF 2+ 3 has a very weak bond to fluorine and a high electron affinity. [39] NeCCH +, a substituted acetylene, is predicted to be energetically stable by 5.9 kcal/mol, one of the most stable organic ions. [40]
Pearson-Anson oscillator circuit. The Pearson–Anson effect, discovered in 1922 by Stephen Oswald Pearson [1] and Horatio Saint George Anson, [2] [3] is the phenomenon of an oscillating electric voltage produced by a neon bulb connected across a capacitor, when a direct current is applied through a resistor.
