    Triggering in trigatron spark gaps: A fundamental study (1989)
    [S.l.] : American Institute of Physics (AIP)

    Notes: The trigatron has been in widespread use as a demand-triggered, high-voltage switch for more than 40 years. In spite of the popularity and maturity of the technology, there persists an uncertainty over the basic physical mechanism(s) responsible for triggering breakdown in the devices. We present the results of an empirical study of trigatrons that directly demonstrates that breakdown is initiated by a streamer launched from the trigger pin, independent of the trigger spark. We compare our results with those of previous workers, and discuss the generality of our conclusions.

    Fundamental processes in the laser-triggered electrical breakdown of gases: Unconventional geometries (1986)
    [S.l.] : American Institute of Physics (AIP)
    Journal of Applied Physics 60 (1986), S. 4240-4247

    Topics: Physics
    Notes: Experimental studies of the laser-triggered electrical breakdown of spark gaps in three nonconventional geometries have been performed. The results of these studies shed new light on the subject of triggered electrical breakdown of gases in general and confirm conclusions we had drawn previously regarding the interaction between the optical beam and the propagating streamer in the conventional laser-triggering geometry (in which the focused beam struck one electrode after passing coaxially through the opposing electrode). In particular, we relate the V-I characteristics of the spark to the triggering conditions and to the system impedance and operating voltage. This relationship defines an upper limit on the initial ionization volume in order to insure prompt collapse of the gap voltage.

    Two-dimensional studies of streamers in gases (1987)
    [S.l.] : American Institute of Physics (AIP)
    Journal of Applied Physics 62 (1987), S. 4696-4707

    Topics: Physics
    Notes: We present the results of two-dimensional computer simulations of streamer initiation and propagation in atmospheric pressure N2. The simulation algorithm makes use of flux-corrected transport techniques and was used as a tool to study the solutions of the transport equations under conditions suitable for streamers, for which realistic analytic solutions are not known. We present and discuss conclusions about streamer transport based on the results of these studies. Finally, we present a novel method of checking on the numerical accuracy with which the algorithm solves the transport equations.

    Field-enhancement calculations for a field-distortion triggered spark gap (1987)
    [S.l.] : American Institute of Physics (AIP)
    Journal of Applied Physics 61 (1987), S. 790-792 
    Details
    ISSN: 1089-7550
    Source: AIP Digital Archive
    Topics: Physics
    Notes: We present the results of numerical field calculation which supplement a recent article in which we described a new design concept for field-distortion triggered spark gaps. The calculations verify the shielding and field enhancement assumptions made in the article, and they provide insight into the interaction of the design tradeoffs associated with simultaneously maximizing the holdoff voltage and the triggering capability of the gap.

    An optical technique for measurement of semiconductor surface electric fields (1992)
    [S.l.] : American Institute of Physics (AIP)
    Review of Scientific Instruments 63 (1992), S. 3918-3922

    Notes: We present an optical technique for the measurement of semiconductor surface electric fields. The measurement technique uses the Kerr electro-optic effect in nitrobenzene, a phase sensitive interferometer, and associated data acquisition units to measure the surface electric fields between the contacts of a planar semiconductor device. This technique was used to measure the surface fields on silicon devices used in pulsed power applications, but has the potential for use as an electric field probe for any device having high surface electric fields, both pulsed and dc. The measurement technique showed a temporal resolution of 100 ns, which can be easily reduced to a few nanoseconds using superior data acquisition and detection systems. The spatial resolution was about 50 μm for devices that had a typical contact separation of about 500 μm (power devices). This technique can be applied to measure the surface fields on devices commonly used in microelectronic applications. In this paper we discuss in detail the measurement technique and present the results obtained for silicon photoconductive power switches.

    A new design concept for field distortion trigger spark gaps (1985)
    [S.l.] : American Institute of Physics (AIP)
    Journal of Applied Physics 57 (1985), S. 2507-2511

    ISSN: 1089-7550

    Topics: Physics
    Notes: A common field distortion triggered spark gap utilizing geometric field enhancement at sharp edges usually operates in a cascade mode via the trigger electrode. A new trigger concept is proposed allowing strong field enhancement and direct breakdown between the two main electrodes. A test setup was designed to prove the feasibility of this concept. Experimental results on delay and jitter depending on percent breakdown voltage are presented. Best results achieved are a delay of 9 ns and a jitter of 2 ns at a self-breakdown voltage of 15 kV.

    Physical mechanism of triggering in trigatron spark gaps (1988)
    Woodbury, NY : American Institute of Physics (AIP)
    Applied Physics Letters 53 (1988), S. 182-184

    ISSN: 1077-3118

    Topics: Physics
    Notes: Since the first trigatron spark gap was described by J. D. Craggs, M. E. Haine, and J. M. Meek [J. Inst. Electr. Eng. 93A, 963 (1946)], there has been controversy about the physical mechanism responsible for triggering the devices. In this letter we present experimental evidence that directly shows the sequence of physical events responsible for triggering in the gap we studied, and we present a model for trigatron triggering based on this information. We believe this model to be general and discuss it in light of existing literature. We briefly discuss the implications of the model for the engineering design of trigatron gaps.

    Giant photoresistivity and optically controlled switching in self-assembled nanowires (2001)
    Woodbury, NY : American Institute of Physics (AIP)
    Applied Physics Letters 79 (2001), S. 4423-4425

    Topics: Physics
    Notes: We report the observation of giant photoresistivity in electrochemically self-assembled CdS and ZnSe nanowires electrodeposited in a porous alumina film. The resistance of these nanowires increases by one to two orders of magnitude when exposed to infrared radiation, possibly because of real-space transfer of electrons from the nanowires into the surrounding alumina by photon absorption. This phenomenon has potential applications in "normally on" infrared photodetectors and optically controlled switches. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Surface-related breakdown in silicon: Imaging of current filaments in long p+-n−-n+ structures (1995)

    Notes: We present Schlieren images which show the existence and evolution of current filaments during the very early stages of surface-related breakdown inside 1 cm silicon p+-n−-n+ structures. These images confirm our previous finding that breakdown occurs in the silicon rather than in the ambient, and suggest that a streamerlike mechanism may be responsible. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Inhibition of surface-related electrical breakdown of long p+-i-n+ silicon structures (1993)

    Topics: Physics
    Notes: Semiconductors such as silicon and GaAs appear attractive for use in high voltage devices because of their high bulk dielectric strength. Typically, however, such devices fail at a voltage well below that expected due to a poorly understood, surface-related breakdown process. In this letter we present empirical results which show that such breakdown of long silicon p+-i-n+ devices can be inhibited by the application of weak visible or near-infrared illumination. These results suggest a technique for avoiding surface flashover in practical high voltage devices, and provide information about the physical mechanisms responsible for initiating flashover.
