Growth mechanism for nanotips in high electric fields

Ville Jansson, Ekaterina Baibuz, Andreas Kyritsakis +5

In this work we show using atomistic simulations that the biased diffusion in high electric field gradients creates a mechanism whereby nanotips may start growing from small surfac…

Thermal runaway of metal nano-tips during intense electron emission

A. Kyritsakis, M. Veske, K. Eimre +2

When an electron emitting tip is subjected to very high electric fields, plasma forms even under ultra high vacuum conditions. This phenomenon, known as vacuum arc, causes catastro…

Au nanowire junction breakup through surface atom diffusion

Simon Vigonski, Ville Jansson, Sergei Vlassov +6

Metallic nanowires are known to break into shorter fragments due to the Rayleigh instability mechanism. This process is strongly accelerated at elevated temperatures and can comple…
