Electron Loading and High Voltage Sparking of Metals in Vacuum (open access)

Electron Loading and High Voltage Sparking of Metals in Vacuum

Statistical methods were employed to measure relative values of electron loading and spark-over voltage for a large number of unoutgassed electrode materials. Test voltages up to 110 KV were employed in vacuum of the order of 10<sup>-7 mm Hg. All metals showed a square root dependence between spark-over voltage and spacing.
