Abstract

If a tungsten coil, charged with aluminum, is brought to incandescence in a vacuum of the order of 105 mm Hg, it evaporates a cloud of metal, which has been observed to emit a violet-blue light. The luminosity has been analyzed and found to be mainly a line spectrum containing Al I, Al II, W and impurity lines. The excitation is produced by collisions with the electrons emitted by the incandescent filament and accelerated by the potential drop across it. λ3443.6 behaves as an Al arc and not as an Al II line, as commonly listed.
