different surface coatings of different thicknesses and materials have been studied, each
with a 99.99% pure silver conducting core. Experimentally, the wires are subjected to peak
current densities in excess of 10 7 A/cm 2 on a microsecond time scale. High Speed
intensified Charge-Coupled Device (iCCD) images. A theoretical one-dimensional finite
difference model has been developed to predict wire behavior and determine the …
