Propagation velocity of unipolar breakdown in a gas

Journal Article · · Sov. Phys. - Tech. Phys. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
OSTI ID:6116738
Experimental results are presented on the propagation of a unipolar breakdown wave along a cylindrical glass chamber containing a gas at low pressure. The gas consisted of air to which argon was added to a partial pressure of about 50 percent. The propagation velocity of unipolar breakdown in gas is studied as a function of pressure, of the distance from the coating area to the copper foil for different voltage pulse repetition rates, and of the magnitude of the voltage pulse for positive and negative polarities. 8 references.
