Research on the influence of cathode surface topography on spark discharge

To obtain the relation between spark discharges and the topography of electrode surfaces, some models, such as a micro-initial model of cone and spherical head cylinder, generated from the scanning of a scanning electron microscope are introduced. Based on the principles of energy conservation and t...
