Electrode Phenomena in a High Current 20-Nanosecond Spark

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The development of initial spark channels and optical phenomena related to initial electrode processes in a 4000-A spark discharge, of 20-nsec duration, in 1 atm air, gap 0.85 mm, was photographed through a Kerr cell shutter. Directed flares originating from the anode spark appear to form after current cutoff and are tentatively identified as an explosive type of erosion which was predicted.
