The work reported bore ia a continuation of that reported in UCRL-
1462. Approximate breakdown voltages and spark damage estimates have been
made for the metals Ag. Ti. Aluminum Alloy 52-so, Stainless Steel 316 and
various combinations of Inconel and Cu.
The geometry and experimental conditions are the same as previously
employed, i.e., a cylindrical electrode centrally located between parallel
plates all within a 14 megacycle cavity. A strong magnetic field (8,000 gauss)
ie directed along the common normal to the side plates and atom. Voltages
of the order of one megavolt are applied.
