Description

In the present work an estimation shows that the photo effect on the cathode near the insulator has significant role in the breakdown of the Plasma Focus device. An analysis is made to establish the number of the emitted photons from the exited molecules and respectively the number of ejected electrons from the cathode due to the photo effect
