This article introduces an improved approach to Fowler-Nordheim (FN) plot analysis, based on a new type of intercept correction factor. This factor is more cleanly defined than the factor previously used. General enabling theory is given…
In electron field emission experiments, a linear relationship in plots of slope vs. intercept obtained from Fowler-Nordheim analysis is commonly observed for single tips or tip arrays. By simulating samples with many tips, it is shown here…
This technical note relates to the theory of cold field electron emission (CFE). It starts by suggesting that, to emphasize common properties in relation to CFE theory, the term 'Lauritsen plot' could be used to describe all graphical plots…
Both single emitters and large area field emitters (LAFE) are generally characterized using the slope and intercept of a Murphy-Good (or Fowler-Nordheim) plot which are used to extract the field enhancement factor and the emission area.…
The commonest method of characterizing a cold field electron emitter is to measure its current-voltage characteristics, and the commonest method of analysing these characteristics is by means of a Fowler-Nordheim (FN) plot. This…
Field electron emission (FE) has relevance in many different technological contexts. However, many related technological papers use a physically defective elementary FE equation for local emission current density (LECD). This equation takes…
With a large-area field electron emitter, when an individual post-like emitter is sufficiently resistive, and current through it sufficiently large, then voltage loss occurs along it. This Letter provides a simple analytical and conceptual…
In papers on cold field electron emission from large area field emitters (LAFEs), it has become widespread practice to publish a misleading Fowler-Nordheim-type (FN-type) equation. This equation over-predicts the LAFE-average current…
Herein, the canonical Fowler-Nordheim theory is extended by computing the zero-temperature transmission probability for the more general case of a barrier described by a fractional power law. An exact analytical formula is derived, written…
An important parameter used to characterize large-area field electron emitters (LAFEs) is the characteristic apex field enhancement factor {\gamma}_C. This parameter is normally extracted from the slope of a Fowler-Nordheim (FN) plot.…
The field emission of crystalline AAA graphite is studied within a simple analytical approach with account of the exact dispersion relation near the Fermi level. The emission current is calculated for two crystal orientations with respect…
The potential barrier height at the interface formed by a metal contact and multiple one-dimensional (1D) quasi-ballistic channels in field-effect transistors (FETs) is evaluated across different carbon nanotube and nanowire device…
Recently, it was noted that absorptive corrections to the electromagnetic form factor in high-energy proton-proton scattering are important for the theoretical interpretation of the $p^\uparrow{p}$ and $p^\uparrow{A}$ analyzing power…
The field enhancement factor at the emitter tip and its variation in a close neighbourhood determines the emitter current in a Fowler-Nordheim like formulation. For an axially symmetric emitter with a smooth tip, it is shown that the…
We present transport measurements of silicon MOS split gate structures with and without Sb implants. We observe classical point contact (PC) behavior that is free of any pronounced unintentional resonances at liquid He temperatures. The…
The classic theory of electron field emission from a cold metal surface due to Fowler and Nordheim (FN) is re-examined and found to violate the validity criteria for the WKB approximation, for electric fields greater than about 1V per…
Background: Heavy atomic nuclei are often described using the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) method. In principle, this approach takes into account Pauli effects and pairing correlations while other correlation effects are mimicked through…
This paper presents an elementary, approximate analytical treatment of cold field electron emission (CFE) from a classical nanowall. A simple model is used to bring out some of the basic physics of a class of field emitter where quantum…
Representing field emission data on a Fowler--Nordheim plot is both very common and strongly not recommended. It leads to a spurious estimation of the emitter parameters despite a very good data fit. There is a lack of a reliable method of…
The Schottky barrier heights (SBHs) of defect-free interfaces of ZnO, CdO, MgO and SrO with various metals and different terminations are investigated by density functional supercell calculations. The oxide bands are corrected for their…
