Breakdown and field emission conditioning of Cu, Mo, and W
The ultrahigh-vacuum electrical breakdown characteristics of copper, molybdenum, and tungsten have been explored in a setup based on a capacitor discharge. Upon repeated sparking, tungsten and molybdenum showed improvement of the maximum applicable field before breakdown (conditioning) in contrast t...
