Popis: Key-point Micro-discharges over the insulator surface in high vacuum are induced by gas molecules adsorbed on the electrode surfaces. In our experiment, Argon glow cleaning showed a distinct conditioning effect on the electrode surfaces. Micro-discharges over the insulator surface were enhanced by the outgassing from the insulator. The reason is that the insulator surface with a high density of gas molecules causes high yield secondary electron emission, leading to positive charge-up over the insulator surface. Thermal degassing for the electrodes and insulator showed a conditioning effect to reduce micro-discharges between the electrodes and over the insulator surface.
