Av. Batrakov et al., INVESTIGATION INTO THE EROSION OF EXPLOSIVE-EMISSION LIQUID-METAL CATHODES, IEEE transactions on plasma science, 25(4), 1997, pp. 538-542
The erosion rate has been measured for capillary-type and needle-type
liquid-metal cathodes, The erosion drop fraction composition and perce
ntage hare been determined, For the needle-type liquid-metal cathodes,
the erosion of the core has been discovered and investigated. To desc
ribe this erosion, a simple analytical model has been proposed.
