Avalanches in breakdown and fracture processes.
We investigate the breakdown of disordered networks under the action of an increasing external-mechanical or electrical-force. We perform a mean-field analysis and estimate scaling exponents for the approach to the instability. By simulating two-dimensional models of electric breakdown and fracture we observe that the breakdown is preceded by avalanche events. The avalanches can be described by...
متن کاملBreakdown Studies in Room Temperature Electron Linac Structures
This paper is an overall review of studied carried out by the authors and some of their colleagues on RF breakdown, Field Emirrion and RF processing in room temperature electron linac structures. The motivation behind this work is twofold: in a fundamental way, to contribute to the understanding of the RF breakdown phenomenon, and as an application, to determine the maximum electric field gradi...
متن کاملDielectric breakdown and avalanches at nonequilibrium metal-insulator transitions.
Motivated by recent experiments on the finite temperature Mott transition in VO(2) films, we propose a classical coarse-grained dielectric breakdown model where each degree of freedom represents a nanograin which transitions from insulator to metal with increasing temperature and voltage at random thresholds due to quenched disorder. We describe the properties of the resulting nonequilibrium me...
متن کاملSoft collisions in relativistic runaway electron avalanches
This paper reports the first application of the relativistic binary-encounter-Bethe (RBEB) electron impact ionization model for studies of relativistic runaway electron avalanches (RREA) phenomenon at different pressures in air, which is believed to be the root cause of the hard x-rays and terrestrial gamma-ray flashes observed in the Earth’s atmosphere in association with lightning activity. T...
متن کاملOPTICAL STUDIES OF COLORED CHEMICAL SPECIES
Evanescent wave spectroscopy using thin optically transparent electrodes and multiple reflections allows unique observations of the electrochemical interphase since the region of solution sampled is typically 100 nm from the electrode in the visible spectral region. This technique is found to be highly sensitive to the presence of absorbing adsorbed species
