Electrostatic-elastoplastic simulations of copper surface under high electric fields

Maximizing the performance of modern linear accelerators working with high gradient electromagnetic fields depends to a large extent on ability to control breakdown rates near metal surfaces in the accelerating structures. Nanoscale voids, presumably forming in the surface layers of metals during th...
