Research Abstract

The vacuum arc happens on the surface under the high field sitting in the cavity where the electromagnetic field is confined. We assume that the crystal characteristics of the constituent material is the origin of the arcing, which happens once in several million pulses. A high-purity large-grain material is mechanically machined and heat treated in order to study the crystal nature of the material with high-resolution scanning electron microscope and synchrotron radiation. We found the different surface depending on the crystal orientation, the groove structure along the grain boundary and surface strain due to the impulse deposit of heat over the surface.
