Field electron emission from nanometer-scale objects deviates from the predictions of the classical emission theory as both the electrostatic potential curves within the tunneling region and the image potential deviates from the planar one.…
Field emission tips with apex radius of curvature below 100nm are not adequately described by the standard theoretical models based on the Fowler-Nordheim and Murphy-Good formalisms. This is due to the breakdown of the `constant electric…
The curvature of field emitter tips leads to an altered tunneling potential that assumes significance when the radius of curvature is small. We provide here an analytical curvature-corrected formula for the field emission current from…
Field emission from nano-structured emitters primarily takes place from the tips. Using recent results on the variation of enhancement factor around the apex (Biswas et al, Ultramicroscopy 185, 1-4 (2018)), analytical expressions for…
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 report on sub-cycle terahertz light-field emission of electrons from tungsten nanotips under extreme conditions corresponding to a Keldysh parameter $\gamma_K\approx10^{-4}$. Local peak THz fields up to 40~GV/m are achieved at the apex…
Nanostructured materials have wide potential applicability as field emitters due to their high aspect ratio. We hydrothermally synthesized MoS2 nanoflowers on copper foil and characterized their field emission properties, by applying a…
We introduce a new simplified method for computing the electron field emission current in short carbon nanotubes using ab-initio computation in periodic simulation cells. We computed the evolution of the wave functions using Time-Dependent…
The proximity of the anode to a curved field electron emitter alters the electric field at the apex and its neighbourhood. A formula for the apex field enhancement factor, $\gamma_a(D)$, for generic smooth emitters is derived using the line…
Electron emission from nanometric size emitters becomes of increasing interest due to its involvement to sharp electron sources, vacuum breakdown phenomena and various other vacuum nanoelectronics applications. The most commonly used…
The curvature-corrected field emission current density, obtained by linearizing at or below the Fermi energy, is investigated. Two special cases, corresponding to the peak of the normal energy distribution and the mean normal energy, are…
Field emission formulae, current-voltage characteristics and energy distribution of emitted electrons, are derived analytically for a nonplanar (hyperboloidal) metallic emitter model. The traditional Fowler-Nordheim formulae, which are…
During the previous decade, K.L. Jensen et. al. developed a general analytical model that successfully describes electron emission from metals both in the field and thermionic regimes, as well as in the transition region. In that…
Experiments on field electron emission from single-tip nanoemitters have typically been carried out using a counter-electrode with a finite curvature radius $R$, positioned at a distance $d_{\rm{gap}}$ from the emitter's apex. The effects…
The Planar Model of the Electrode-Vacuum-Electrode configuration for STM in which electrode surfaces are assumed to be infinite parallel planes, with atomic size separation and vacuum between them, is used to calculate tunneling current…
Large area field electron emitters, typically consisting of several thousands of nanotips, pose a major challenge since numerical modeling requires enormous computational resources. We propose a hybrid approach where the local electrostatic…
Field-emission of electrons underlies major advances in science and technology, ranging from imaging the atomic-scale structure of matter to signal processing at ever-higher frequencies. The advancement of these applications to their…
The Numerical Advanced Model of Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Source (NAM-ECRIS) is applied for studies of the physical processes in the source. Solutions of separately operating electron and ion modules of NAM-ECRIS are matched in…
We investigate enhanced field emission due to a continuous or pulsed oscillating field added to a constant electric field $E$ at the emitter surface. When the frequency of oscillation, field strength, and property of the emitter material…
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs - long tubular carbon nanostructures) belong to the best electron field emitting materials. Based on the experimentally determined electron density in the dual hot filament/DC plasma deposition system the electric…
