Effect of dc voltage pulsing on high-vacuum electrical breakdowns near Cu surfaces
Anton Saressalo, Iaroslava Profatilova, William L. Millar +4
Vacuum electrical breakdowns, also known as vacuum arcs, are a limiting factor in many devices that are based on application of high electric fields near their component surfaces.…
