Description
Summary:Summary form only given. Cathode erosion is required for operation of cathodic arcs maintained by explosive electron emission at cold cathodes.1 On the other hand, electrode erosion is an undesirable process limiting the life time of electrodes. Thus, it is desirable to uniformly distribute the arc root motion over the electrode surface to maximize its life time.
