TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the history of multipactor discharge theory, focusing on recent models of multipactors accessibility and saturation, and two cases were treated in detail: that of a first-order, two-surface multipactor, and that of single surface multipactor on a dielectric.

TL;DR: The Child-Langmuir Law (CL) as mentioned in this paper gives the maximum current that can be transported across a planar diode in the steady state, which is central to the studies of high current diodes, such as high power microwave sources, vacuum microelectronics, electron and ion sources, and high current drivers used in high energy density physics experiments.

TL;DR: O'Shea et al. as discussed by the authors showed that a much higher current density may be drawn from a short pulse or limited emitter area than is anticipated by the Child-Langmuir limiting current, which leads a distinction between a limiting current density and a current density critical for virtual cathode formation.

TL;DR: In this article, the fundamental physics of space-charge interactions that are important in various media: vacuum gap, air gap, liquids, and solids including quantum materials including quantum material.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of external magnetic fields, the rf magnetic field, and of an oblique rf electric field, on multipactor discharge on a dielectric was analyzed.
