Explosive Processes on the Cathode in a Vacuum Discharge
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of explosive processes at the cathode has been established and results concerning breakdown voltage, discharge current temporal behavior, delay time, spark-to-arc transition time, X-ray radiation, and electrode erosion are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Cyclical Explosive Model of the Cathode Spot
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that microexplosions occur in a cyclical manner, i.e. they appear due to fast heating of the cathode microarea and then cease because this area cools in consequence of the decreased current density, the heat conductance, the intensity of electron emission, and evaporation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pulsed electrical discharges in vacuum at cryogenic electrode temperatures
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of recent investigations concerning the effect of cathodes at cryogenic temperatures on the initiation of a pulsed vacuum breakdown is presented, where it has been observed that cooling Nb and W cathodes from 300 K to 4.2 K results in a monotonic increase of the critical emission current and the pulsed electric strength of the vacuum gap.
