Tarini publishes paper on On the role of Debye temperature in the onset of flash in three oxides
Abstract
Higher electric fields lower the temperature for the onset of flash. We explore the question “what can be the lowest temperature for initiating flash?”. Constant heating rate experiments at increasing electric fields reveal a surprising characteristic: the Debye temperature emerges as a the lower bound for the onset of flash. Data for flash temperature for three oxides are shown to exhibit this behavior in a universal plot.
