While experiment, simulation, and theory all show that the gas breakdown voltage
decreases linearly with gap distance for microscale gaps at atmospheric pressure due to the …

Paschen's law (PL), derived based on the Townsend avalanche (TA) condition, is commonly
used to predict gas breakdown. For microscale gaps near atmospheric pressure, TA is …

In this paper, we develop an exact analytical quantum theory for field emission from surfaces
with a nearby quantum well, by solving the one-dimensional time-independent Schrödinger …

Electron emission plays a vital role in device design for systems with pressures ranging from
vacuum to atmospheric pressure. Nonuniform pressure in vacuum devices and gap sizes …
