Initiation and development of nanosecond discharges in liquids

  • Published:
Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

The initiation and development of discharges in purified water and hexane were studied for pulse rise times ofΤ r ≈ 2−3 nsec and pulse lengths ofΤ p≈10–50 nsec by an oscilloscopic method and with an electron-optical image converter. The results are compared with data on the nanosecond breakdown of gases. A physical interpretation is offered for the observed behavior.
