Abstract :
The erosion processes of a micro-structured surface under incident plasma power load were considered. It was shown that strong growth of plasma density due to this erosion lead to substantial intensifying of energy release at the surface. Estimations of emission current density indicate that the obtained values are high enough for the explosive overheating of the microstructured surface.
