Special issue of the IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation on Vacuum Insulation, Fundamentals and Applications

Abstract

We are pleased to announce that the February 2016 issue of the IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation (TDEI) will be a special issue on Vacuum Insulation, Fundamentals and Applications. This issue is open to all authors including presenters of papers at the 26th International Symposium on Discharges and Electrical Insulation in Vacuum (ISDEIV 2014) held on 28 September – 3 October 2014 in Mumbai India who are especially encouraged to submit their work to this special issue. Topics include, but are not restricted to: A: Breakdown and Flashover 1. Vacuum breakdown and pre-breakdown phenomena 2. Surface discharges and flashover phenomena 3. RF breakdown and multipactoring phenomena 4. High field effects in microelectromechanical systems and nano-structures B: Vacuum arcs 1. Switching in vacuum and related phenomena 2. Interaction of vacuum arcs with magnetic field 3. Vacuum arc physics 4. Computer modeling and computer aided design 5. Pulse power physics and technology C: Applications 1. Vacuum interrupters and their applications 2. Deposition of coatings by vacuum arc plasmas and related technologies 3. Electron, ion, neutron, X-ray and other beam and light sources 4. Accelerators and fusion reactor related issues 5. Space related technologies 6. Vacuum arc melting and degassing
