Nonmonotonic potential distribution and current quenching mechanism in plasma-filled diode

Abstract

The phenomenon of current quenching in a plasma-filled diode forms the basis equation for operation of the plasma erosion opening switch. In typical operating conditions of the switch, a vacuum gap is preliminarily filled with a plasma from an external source after which a voltage is applied to the gap and an external electric circuit provides for a current rise with a characteristic time of the order of 1 μs. When the current reaches some critical value, the resistance of the gap sharply increases so that the current quenching and the corresponding voltage kick occurs, opening the gap for a short time.
