Abstract

This article suggests an alternative mechanism for electron emission from the ferroelectric ceramic cathode. This mechanism involves the concept of vacuum breakdown initiation from metal-dielectric cathodes that comprises two stages: the field emission through metal- dielectric-vacuum conjunction followed by the processes resulting in an uncompleted surface discharge. The electron emission thus occurs from the low-density surface plasma.
