The green glow is known as a "metastable decay", a common atomic property
of both solids and gases. The glow can last for seconds or minutes
depending on the material and energy level to which it is pumped. Be
especially cautious if you notice any vacuum tubes with the glass walls of
the tube glowing green with a high voltage applied. This is a sign of
X-ray generation and might be harmful to your health. The less expensive
types of glass will do this even when energized with AC which could be
self-rectifying within the vacuum tube. You might pick up a radiation
badge from a local hospital and check it out for your own safety.
