Abstract
Experimental results regarding the study of plasma double layers (DLs) by electric and spectral methods in the case of a glow discharge obtained in a chamber of three-electrode geometry are presented. The experimental results prove that the appearance of DLs in active plasmas can be accompanied by quantum processes, such as excitation and ionization.Keywords
