Effect of dc voltage pulsing on high-vacuum electrical breakdowns near Cu surfaces

Vacuum electrical breakdowns, also known as vacuum arcs, are a limiting factor in many devices that are based on application of high electric fields near their component surfaces. Understanding processes that lead to breakdown events may help mitigate their appearance and suggest ways for improving...
