“…Usually, measures are taken to avoid these effects. It has recently been shown [3] that electron transport along an insulator surface and through hollow insulating structures in vacuum can be controlled at moderate voltages. As an example the electron transport through a tube was described qualitatively in [3], showing that steady-state current flow along the insulator is possible when the potential applied across the tube exceeds a critical value.…”

“…It will be shown that, in some cases, the steady-state potential distribution can be approximated by solving the Laplace equation with oblique boundary conditions at the insulator surface (the low-hopping approximation). Finally, the steady-state distribution in more complicated structures (including the tube discussed in [3]) will be determined using Monte Carlo calculations and the results will be compared with those of the lowhopping approximation. Several numerical results will be compared with experimentally obtained results.…”

A general formalism for hopping electron transport over insulators sustained by secondary electron emission is presented. Steady-state electron transport takes place when the charging of the insulator, which turns out to be self-stabilizing, is such that the average secondary electron yield becomes equal to unity. The steady-state potential distribution for the electron transport is determined for various insulating geometries with the aid of Monte Carlo calculations and compared with the low-hopping approximation. The Monte Carlo results show that the steady-state potential distribution can exhibit several interesting features such as spontaneous symmetry breaking of statistical origin and the occurrence of local repulsive parts in the geometry. In several cases the numerical results, including the above two features, are found to agree well with the results of experiments.
