摘要
We observed an anomalous discharge mode causing explosive surface evaporation and emission of hard x rays of 10-40 keV in the regime of the lower hydrogen partial pressures of hydrogen-argon mixture in a Mather type plasma focus device of 1.5 kJ. At the anomalous mode, the x rays were emitted from only the surface of the anode without emissions from a plasma column or hot spots, accompanying with explosive evaporations of the anode surface.
