“…Another possibilityis the following:A study of interelectrode shorts on cathode walls in the absence of iron addition, is described in Ref. 13. lt is found that the numberof open gaps on a cathodewall increaseslinearlyor nearly so, with Hall field,Ex, and appearsnot to be influencedappreciablyby anything else, specifically,not by transversecurrent,Jr" The voltage acrosseach open gap is found to be about90 volts + 20 v. There follows an evaluationof several mechanisms that might produce such a result, and it is concluded that the mechanismmost consistentwith the data is one where axial arcs bridge the open gaps and cause the material responsiblefor the short to vaporize or in some other way be removed.…”
