Improved high voltage insulator for use in vacuumHigh voltage insulator for electron bombardment ion thruster has electric field directed through dielectric material and electrons emitted by field emission are constrained in negative junction region. Surface flashover and unstable operation are eliminated, and maximum voltage is limited only by dielectric strength of material, aluminum oxide in this case.
