The work function, which is the energy barrier for an electron esca** from the surface of a
material, is a fundamental material surface property with many applications spanning energy …

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 …

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 …

This article proposes that we should think differently about predicting and interpreting
measured field electron emission (FE) current–voltage [I m (V m)] characteristics. It is …

This paper aims to improve qualitative understanding of electrostatic influences on apex
field enhancement factors (AFEFs) for small field emitter arrays/clusters. Using the “floating …

This contribution describes the latest milestones of a multiyear program to build and operate
a compact-300 kV dc high voltage photogun with inverted insulator geometry and alkali …

In field electron emission (FE) studies, it is important to check and analyse the quality and
validity of experimental current-voltage data, which is usually plotted in one of a small …

We propose several quantum mechanical models to describe electronic field emission from
first principles. These models allow us to correlate quantitatively the electronic emission …
