Space-charge-limited current (SCLC) remains a critical issue across material phases
(vacuum, gas, liquids, and solids) and timescales. The solution for one-dimensional (1D) …

A practical, in-depth description of the physics behind electron emission physics and its
usage in science and technology Electron emission is both a fundamental phenomenon and …

With the continual miniaturization of electronic devices, there is an urgent need to
understand the electron emission and the mechanism of electrical breakdown at nanoscale …

When two conductors are separated by a sufficiently thin insulator, electrical current can flow
between them by quantum tunneling. This paper presents a self-consistent model of …

The theories of field electron emission from perfectly planar and smooth canonical surfaces
are well understood, but they are not suitable for describing emission from rough, irregular …

Laser-driven ultrafast electron emission offers the possibility of manipulation and control of
coherent electron motion in ultrashort spatiotemporal scales. Here, an analytical solution is …

While prior theoretical studies of multi-dimensional space-charge limited current (SCLC)
assumed emission from a small patch on infinite electrodes, none have considered emission …

While space-charge limited emission current density J cr is calculated exactly for one-
dimensional (1D) planar geometry, 1D cylindrical and spherical geometries require …
