Collision and Diffusion in Microwave Breakdown of Nitrogen Gas in and around Microgaps [PDF]
AIP Advances, 2013 The microwave induced breakdown of N2 gas in microgaps was modeled using the collision frequency between electrons and neutral molecules and the effective electric field concept.

Investigating membrane breakdown of neuronal cells exposed to nonuniform electric fields by finite-element modeling and experiments [PDF]
, 2002 High electric field strengths may induce high cell membrane potentials. At a certain breakdown level the membrane potential becomes constant due to the transition from an insulating state into a high conductivity and high permeability state.

Electrical breakdown in tissue electroporation [PDF]
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2015 Electroporation, the permeabilization of the cell membrane by brief, high electric fields, has become an important technology in medicine for diverse application ranging from gene transfection to tissue ablation. There is ample anecdotal evidence that the clinical application of electroporation is often associated with loud sounds and extremely high ...

Resistive switching induced by electronic avalanche breakdown in GaTa$_4$Se$_{8-x}$Te$_x$ narrow gap Mott Insulators [PDF]
, 2013 Mott transitions induced by strong electric fields are receiving a growing interest. Recent theoretical proposals have focused on the Zener dielectric breakdown in Mott insulators, however experimental studies are still too scarce to conclude about the ...

Poling of VDF/TrFe copolymers using a step-wise method [PDF]
, 1996 A new poling technique is presented, in which a series of five consecutive pulses of electric field, and with successively increasing strength is applied between the two electrodes of 65/35 VDF/TrFE copolymer based sensor. Between each pulse, the applied

The inception of pulsed discharges in air: simulations in background fields above and below breakdown [PDF]
, 2014 We investigate discharge inception in air, in uniform background electric fields above and below the breakdown threshold. We perform 3D particle simulations that include a natural level of background ionization in the form of positive and O$_{2}^-$ ions.

Nature of Sonoluminescence: Noble Gas Radiation Excited by Hot Electrons in "Cold" Water [PDF]
, 2000 We show that strong electric fields occurring in water near the surface of collapsing gas bubbles because of the flexoelectric effect can provoke dynamic electric breakdown in a micron-size region near the bubble and consider the scenario of the SBSL ...

Electromagnetic radiation of simulated mid-gap streamers [PDF]
, 2016 Electromagnetic field from simulated double-headed mid-gap streamers is computed. The effect of the applied electric field is studied by considering electric fields higher than the conventional breakdown threshold (‘overvoltage’).
