This technical note provides a high-level overview of the present state of basic field electron emission (FE) theory, as suitable for use in the context of technological applications of FE theory. At present there is much theoretical…
The control of the interaction between several quantum emitters using nanophotonic structures holds great promise for quantum technology applications. However, the theoretical description of such processes for complex nanostructures is a…
A large area field emitter (LAFE) typically consists of several thousands of nanoscale emitting tips. These are difficult to simulate using purely numerical methods based on finite/boundary element or finite difference methods. We show here…
This paper describes theoretical modelling of electrostatic lenses based on 3, 4 and 5 closely spaced cylindrical electrodes, respectively. In each case, modelling is carried out numerically using commercial packages SIMION and LENSYS, and…
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…
This paper improves understanding of electrostatic influences on apex field enhancement factors (AFEFs) for small field emitter arrays. Using the "floating sphere at emitter-plate potential" (FSEPP) model, it re-examines the electrostatics…
The search for electric dipole moments of particles in storage rings requires the development of dedicated deflector elements with electrostatic fields. In these rings, electric deflectors shall be used as bending elements for the charged…
When solving the Laplace equation numerically via computer simulation, in order to determine the field values at the surface of a shape model that represents a field emitter, it is necessary to define a simulation box and, within this, a…
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…
Novel schemes for generating ultra-low emittance electron beams have been developed in the last years and promise compact particle sources with excellent beam quality suitable for future high-energy physics experiments and free-electron…
Electron microscopy is a powerful tool for studying the properties of materials down to their atomic structure. In many cases, the quantitative interpretation of images requires simulations based on atomistic structure models. These…
We report the study of quasi-ballistic electron transport in short FETs subjected to magnetic field. Spatial distributions of electron concentrations, velocities, Hall currents and voltages in the short FET channels are determined. The…
Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) normally have fixed or moving structures with cross-sections of the order of microns ($\mu m$) and lengths of the order of tens or hundreds of microns. These structures are often plates or array of…
In this article, a systematic and comprehensive approach based on finite element analysis and analytical modelling for studying static pull-in phenomena in hybrid levitation micro-actuators is presented. A finite element model of…
This article proposes that we should think differently about predicting and interpreting measured field electron emission (FE) current-voltage [I(V)] characteristics. It is commonly assumed that I(V) data interpretation is a problem in…
Electrical machines employing superconductors are attractive solutions in a variety of application domains. Numerical models are powerful and necessary tools to optimize their design and predict their performance. The electromagnetic…
This article describes a method devised for efficient evaluation of arbitrary static magnetic and electric fields in a source free region needed for long time tracking of charged particles. Field values given on the boundary of the region…
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…
A representation of partially spatially coherent and partially polarized stationary electromagnetic fields is given in terms of mutually uncorrelated, transversely shifted, fully coherent and polarized elementary electric-field modes. This…
We develop a framework that provides a few-mode master equation description of the interaction between a single quantum emitter and an arbitrary electromagnetic environment. The field quantization requires only the fitting of the spectral…
