Electrical conduction and discharge processes associated with aluminium oxide

At elevated temperatures alumina insulators are a source of small electrical pulses of approximately 10(^-14) coulombs when subjected to an electrical stress. This phenomenon, termed pulse breakdown, has been studied on single crystal and polycrystalline alumina over the temperature range 0ºC to 900...
