Abstrakt: Investigates the possibility of forming large-area liquid-metal ion sources by examining the behavior of a planar liquid-conducting surface in the presence of a high electric field. Application of electrohydrodynamic instability theory to a planar liquid-lithium surface; Equations of motion and boundary conditions for a planar liquid metal in an electric Distorted surface structure caused by unstable growth in high electric field.
