Dark current spikes as an indicator of mobile dislocation dynamics under intense dc electric fields
Breakdown of metals subject to intense electric fields is a long-standing limiting factor in high-voltage applications. The mechanism leading to breakdown nucleation is not completely understood. Previously, it was suggested that breakdown can be nucleated by a critical transition in the population...
