Dielectric window breakdown is a serious challenge in high-power microwave (HPM)
transmission and radiation. Breakdown at the vacuum/dielectric interface is triggered by …

In this Letter, the novel physics of higher harmonic (HH) generation of the normal electric
field near a dielectric surface is reported in multipactor induced plasma ionization …

With the use of a simple model, it is shown that a thin film of contaminant on a microwave
window may absorb up to 50% of the incident power, even if the film thickness is only a …

The time-dependent physics of the single-surface multipactor is investigated by using both
particle-in-cell (PIC) and Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. An oscillation of the normal surface …

We report a new regime of single-surface multipactor that was observed during high-power
testing of an 11.424-GHz alumina-based dielectric-loaded accelerating structure. Previous …

This article briefly reviews the theory and modeling of single-surface multipactor discharge
on a dielectric, focusing on recent studies on two-frequency RF-field-induced multipactor. A …

This work investigates multipactor discharge on a single dielectric surface with two carrier
frequencies of an rf electric field. We use Monte Carlo simulations and analytical …

The mechanisms of nanosecond microwave-driven discharges near a dielectric/vacuum
interface were studied by measuring the time-and space-dependent optical emissions and …
