“…Wilson first proposed in 1924 that electrons might enter a state of continuous acceleration under a strong electric field [
15]. Since then, many studies have reported the theory of electron runaway under a strong electric field [
12, 16, 17], that is, the energy the electrons lose between collisions is less than the energy electrons accumulate from the strong electric field. The condition can be simplified as follows:
where, e is the charge of the electron, E is the electric field where the electron is, x is the position of the electron, ε is the energy of the electron, and F ( ε ) is the effective friction force [
18], that is, the energy loss function of the inelastic collision between electrons and gas molecules or atoms in the process of motion.…”
