Laser-induced breakdown in organic liquids

Abstract
The threshold fields of laser-induced breakdown in dielectric liquids (dimethyl silicon oil and linear hydrocarbon liquids) were experimentally studied as the functions of increasing molecular weight and decreasing temperature and found to decrease. By comparison, slightly increase. From these results, laser-induced breakdown in dielectric liquids is explained in terms of microwave breakdown theory as in the solids and gases.
