所谓的爆炸性电子发射观察到的个别包或雪崩的电子显示发生在阴极的微爆炸。这种电子雪崩叫做电子子。由于高能量密度（10（4）J g（-1）），金属过热，电子子中的电子电流开始流动，随着发射区冷却，电流停止。电子子出现在涉及等离子体的现象中，例如真空中的放电、真空电弧的阴极斑点、气体中的体积放电、伪火花、电晕、单极电弧等。
The so-called explosive electron emission observed as individual packets or avalanches of electrons is shown to occur on microexplosions at the cathode. This avalanche of electrons is called an ecton. Electron current in an ecton starts flowing as a result of the overheating of the metal because of the high energy density (10(4) J g(-1)), and the current stops as the emission zone cools off. Ectons occur in plasma-involving phenomena, such as electrical discharges in vacuum, cathode spots of vacuum arcs, volumetric discharges in gases, pseudosparks, coronas, unipolar arcs, etc.
