Journal ArticleDOI
The role of outgassing in surface flashover under vacuum
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used high-speed electrical and optical diagnostics as a basis to discuss a new surface flashover model, where outgassing, caused by electron stimulated desorption, played a crucial role in the temporal flashover development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Initiation of high power microwave dielectric interface breakdown
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model of vacuum/dielectric/vacuum interface breakdown initiation caused by high power microwave has been developed, where a spatially varying electron density normal to the interface surface has been introduced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Window breakdown caused by high-power microwaves
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the physical mechanisms leading to microwave breakdown on windows for power levels on the order of 100 MW at 2.85 GHz using a 3-MW magnetron coupled to an S-band traveling wave resonator.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electric current in dc surface flashover in vacuum
TL;DR: In this article, a three-phase development of dielectric surface flashover in vacuum is characterized by a three phase development, as shown by current measurements covering the range from 10−4 to 100 A, assisted by x-ray emission measurements, high speed photography, and time-resolved spectroscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrode Erosion Phenomena in a High-Energy Pulsed Discharge
TL;DR: In this paper, the same authors examined hemispherical electrodes, made of graphite, copper-graphite, brass, two types of copper-tungsten, and three types of stainless steel, in a spark gap filled with air or nitrogen at one atmosphere.
