Abstract :
In the experiments, a pulsed (1-10 μs) microwave radiation (frequency of oscillation was 2 GHz, power was 0.4-2 MW, microwave electric field was 3-10 kV/cm) excited microwave discharges developing at the surface of dielectric lithium fluoride (LiF) crystals in vacuum (10-5 Pa). The dense plasma of the discharges produced the electrodeless electric breakdowns and destructions in the bulk of the LiF crystals.
