Microwave breakdown of sub-atmospheric argon gas in the vicinity of a microgap

The microwave electric field at breakdown for argon gas in a microgap (generally, gap size <1 mm) over a wide range of pressures and gap sizes was found to exhibit two behavioral pressure regimes. A high microwave electric field was established in the gap of a re-entrant mode resonator. By slowly...
