“…Plasma formation is closely related to the electron emission mechanism, which is thermally unstable thermo-field emission [96,97], a locally concentrated, non-linear superposition of field emission [98,99] and thermionic emission [100]. This is also known as explosive emission [101], and the arc spot may be considered as a sequence of rapid microscopic explosions [92,102].…”

“…It is well established that the high fields located at sharp points on the cathode cause field emission of electrons. The electrons are accelerated by the electric field and bombard the anode (., 3,4,5,6, 7} The question arises: are there any secondary effects at the anode which, in turn, could generate secondary electrons to obtain a self-sustained discharge?…”
