electron avalanche

名詞

The process in which a number of free electrons in a transmission medium are subjected to strong acceleration by an electric field and subsequently collide with other atoms of the medium, thereby ionizing them and releasing additional electrons which further the process.

日本語の意味

電子が強い電界によって急速に加速され、媒体中の原子と衝突してイオン化を起こし、さらに多くの電子を放出することで連鎖的に電子数が増加する現象

During the breakdown of the gas-filled tube, an electron avalanche rapidly multiplied the number of charge carriers, leading to a sudden surge in current.

ガス封入管の破壊放電時には、自由電子が強い電界で加速されて他の原子を電離しさらに電子を放出する電子雪崩が急速に電荷担体数を増加させ、電流が急増した。

意味（1）
