Dielectric breakdown constitutes an important limitation in the use of insulating materials
under high-voltage since it can lead to the local fusion and sublimation of the insulator. The …

Polymers with high surface electric insulation capability are greatly demanded in various
electrical devices operating in vacuum ambient. Low secondary electron emission (SEE) is …

Electron beam irradiation and the self-consistent charge transport in bulk insulating samples
are described by means of a new flight-drift model and an iterative computer simulation …

Dielectric breakdown is the main cause of insulator degradation. Breakdown strength
strongly depends on materials microstructure (grain size, grain boundaries …

In this paper, a number of drawbacks and contradictions of the existing models of charging
dielectric targets under irradiation with defocused electron beams of moderate energies (0.2 …

The ongoing development of Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) enables the use of relatively
inexpensive and robust borosilicate micro-channel substrates for use as Micro-Channel …

The electron emission and charge characteristics of a large number of massive insulators
are investigated qualitatively and quantitatively. It is demonstrated that irradiation of …

The electron beam induced self-consistent charge transport in layered insulators (here, bulk
alumina covered by a thin silica layer) is described by means of an electron-hole flight-drift …

The charging of insulating samples degrades the quality and complicates the interpretation
of images in scanning electron microscopy and is important in other applications, such as …

Electron emission and concomitant charge accumulation near the surface of insulators is
central to understanding spacecraft charging. A study of changes in electron emission yields …
