Phonon jets: streamer-breakdown channels in crystals
The acousto-electronic mechanism for the directiveness of incomplete electrical breakdown in crystals is examined. This mechanism is based on the formation of a region with a strong streamer electric field along the direction of the jet-like flow of generated phonons, which slow down fast current carriers.
