Graphenes are beneficial to electrons field emission due to its high aspect ratio, high carrier
density, the larger carrier mobility, excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, excellent …

This review of the quantitative electrostatics of field emitters, covering analytical, numerical
and'fitted formula'approaches, is thought the first of its kind in the 100 years of the subject …

Measured field electron emission (FE) current–voltage I m (V m) data are traditionally
analysed via Fowler–Nordheim (FN) plots, as ln {I m/V m 2} versus 1/V m. These have been …

This Perspective outlines theoretical, simulation, and experimental studies linking electron
emission and gas breakdown. Many studies have investigated field emission-driven …

Nanoprotrusion (NP) on metal surface and its inevitable contamination layer under high
electric field is often considered as the primary precursor that leads to vacuum breakdown …

Field electron emission (FE) has relevance in many technological contexts. However, many
technological papers use a physically defective elementary FE equation for local emission …

In field electron emission (FE) studies, interpretation of measured current–voltage
characteristics and extraction of emitter characterization parameters are usually carried out …

The commonest method of characterizing a cold field electron emitter is to measure its
current-voltage characteristics, and the commonest method of analysing these …

In this paper, we derive analytically from first principles a generalized Fowler–Nordheim
(FN) type equation that takes into account the curvature of a nanoscopic emitter and is …

All theories coupling electron emission theories ultimately approach the space-charge-
limited current (SCLC) in vacuum, given by the Child–Langmuir (CL) law, for sufficiently high …
