Suppression of volume breakdown in vacuum with coatings
Conference

OSTI ID:5845970
Thin cathode coatings have been shown to be effective in suppressing pulsed breakdown in vacuum. Coatings are normally plastics, although some inorganics have been used. Thicknesses range from on the order of a micron to several mils (1 mil = 25.4 /mu/m). Pulse lengths from 10 ns to more than 1 /mu/s have been studied. 2 refs., 3 figs.
