Abstract
The results of a study of the effect of the front edge duration of a voltage pulse (τ) on the electric breakdown of ammonium perchlorate single crystals are submitted. Experiments have shown that at τ<1.5 µs, the breakdown threshold field increases with reduction in τ and does not depend on τ at τ>1.5 µs. It is shown that the electric breakdown of ammonium perchlorate results from an impact generation of electrons. The impact generation rate of electrons versus electric field and the diameter of the through channel being formed during electric breakdown in ammonium perchlorate are estimated.
