Abstract
The formation of a deep nonstationary potential well in the gap between the cathode flare front and the anode has been modeled with allowance for a floating potential at the boundary of an expanding plasma. It is shown that a long-lived potential well with a lifetime on the order of nanoseconds can form in the vacuum diode. The obtained results provide an explanation of the phenomenon of collective ion acceleration at the spark stage of vacuum discharge.
