Criteria and dynamics of electrical breakdown of gas-filled diode on left branch of Paschen curve
The article presents the results of theoretical analysis of threshold pressures and voltages that ensure breakdown of a planar gap filled with low-pressure nitrogen. Three approaches to calculating threshold pressures are revealed: 1) based on the Townsend gas ionization coefficient, 2) based on a diode with a plasma cathode, and 3) based on a diode with a field-emission cathode. For the first and second approaches, the threshold pressures are estimated from above and below, and the third approach allows specifying the breakdown conditions between these boundaries of the critical regions. The calculation of the spatial-temporal dynamics of the development of discharge with the field-emission cathode is performed. It demonstrates that at the threshold pressure and voltage, low-pressure gas discharge is formed within 100 ns. Good agreement between the predictions of the threshold criteria and the kinetic calculations of the discharge dynamics is demonstrated.
