Statistical approach to theory of electron-avalanche ionization in solids

The development of the electron avalanche induced in solid transparent dielectrics by an electromagnetic field where the deterrent lack of seed electrons can be critical is analyzed. Expressions for the breakdown probability as a function of the laser radiation intensity, the focal spot size, and th...

Description
Summary:The development of the electron avalanche induced in solid transparent dielectrics by an electromagnetic field where the deterrent lack of seed electrons can be critical is analyzed. Expressions for the breakdown probability as a function of the laser radiation intensity, the focal spot size, and the concentration of defects are obtained.
