  • Abstract
    A triggering mechanism, unconnected with carrier transfer effects at long distances, for power commutation of 105¿106 W in the subnanosecond range, is believed to have been found from the study of the avalanche breakdown process. The switching time does not increase when the diodes are connected in series.
