Whisker growth on Sn thin film accelerated under gamma-ray irradiation
Morgan Killefer, Vamsi Borra, Ahmed Al-Bayati +4
We report on growth of tin (Sn) metal whiskers that is significantly accelerated under gamma-ray irradiation. The studied Sn thin film, evaporated on glass substrate, was subjected…
The stochastic growth of metal whiskers
Biswas Subedi, Dipesh Niraula, Victor G. Karpov
The phenomenon of spontaneously growing metal whiskers (MW) raises significant reliability concerns due to its related arcing and shorting in electric equipment. The growth kinetic…
Evidence of rapid tin whisker growth under electron irradiation
A. C. Vasko, G. R. Warrell, E. Parsai +2
We have investigated the influence of electric field on tin whisker growth. Sputtered tin samples were exposed to electron radiation, and were subsequently found to have grown whis…
Understanding the movements of metal whiskers
Victor G. Karpov
Metal whiskers often grow across leads of electric equipment and electronic package causing current leakage or short circuits and raising significant reliability issues. The nature…
Electric field induced nucleation: An alternative pathway to metallic hydrogen
M. Nardone, V. G. Karpov
Electric field induced nucleation is introduced as a possible mechanism to realize a metallic phase of hydrogen. Analytical expressions are derived for the nucleation probabilities…
