The multiscale nature of streamers
Ute Ebert, Carolynne Montijn, T. M. P. Briels +4
Streamers are a generic mode of electric breakdown of large gas volumes. They play a role in the initial stages of sparks and lightning, in technical corona reactors and in high al…

Tunneling-assisted impact ionization fronts in semiconductors
P. Rodin, U. Ebert, W. Hundsdorfer +1
We propose a novel type of ionization front in layered semiconductor structures. The propagation is due to the interplay of band-to-band tunneling and impact ionization. Our numeri…

Spontaneous Branching of Anode-Directed Streamers between Planar Electrodes
Manuel Arrayas, Ute Ebert, Willem Hundsdorfer
Non-ionized media subject to strong fields can become locally ionized by penetration of finger-shaped streamers. We study negative streamers between planar electrodes in a simple d…
