Abstract

Dielectric breakdown in ceramics and composites has previously been determined by the dielectric breakdown model, dependent only on the electric field strength at a certain point and intermolecular distance in a lattice. This does not take into account quantum aspects of the lattice structure into account. The present model takes into account quantum variations of particles in conjunction with different particle characteristics. Dielectric breakdown patterns are characterised by their quantum breakdown probabilities and studies are carried out as a function of the applied electric field, temperature and specific material constants responsible for breakdown, such as the mean free path and the potential barrier present.
