Phase transition waves in strong electric fields

Technical Physics Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

A description is given of a semiphenomenological theory which yields an expression for the velocity of a phase transition wave in a condensed medium exposed to a strong electric field. The proposed theory may be applied to analyze an electron avalanche breakdown wave or a melting (evaporation) wave formed in a material under the action of an electric discharge.
