Core structure and secondary breakdown of an exploding wire in the current-pause regime

The results of experiments with rapidly exploding thin conductors in the current-pause regime are presented. Copper wires 25 μm in diameter and 12 mm in length serve as loads for a GVP pulsed generator based on a low-inductance capacitor. The generator produces current pulses of up to 10 kA with dI/...
