    Possible nuclear decay of bismuth induced by a mechanical impact

    It is experimentally shown that the metallic dust after the inertial explosion induced by the impact of a metallic bismuth striker on a fixed steel barrier contains platinum and boron, which were absent before...

    Thermionic valve effect and cathode crater rhythm in a low-voltage cold-cathode vacuum arc

    A vacuum arc with a cold cathode burns rhythmically. The period of the rhythm is determined by a thermionic valve effect which occurs between the hot crater and the cold cathode as a result of the brief retent...

    Formation of a cathode crater in a low-voltage cold-cathode vacuum arc

    The cathode crater in a low-voltage cold-cathode vacuum arc is planar. The area of the crater and the density of the current flowing through it depend on the thermal and electrical properties of the cathode me...
