Prebreakdown Ionization in Gases under Steady-State and Pulsed Conditions in Uniform Fields
The electrical breakdown of a gas is a dramatic event in which the electrical conductivity of the gas between a pair of electrodes with an applied...
-
Transport Data for the Modeling of Electrical Breakdown and Discharges
In recent years the modeling of electrical breakdown and electrical discharges has rapidly grown because of the availability of high speed computers....
