Numerical testing by a transfer-matrix technique of Simmons' equation for the local current density in metal-vacuum-metal junctions
Alexandre Mayer, Marwan S. Mousa, Mark J. Hagmann +1
We test the consistency with which Simmons' model can predict the local current density obtained for flat metal-vacuum-metal junctions. The image potential energy used in Simmons'…
Fowler-Nordheim Plot Analysis: a Progress Report
Richard G. Forbes, Jonathan H. B. Deane, Andreas Fischer +1
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…
Influence of barrier form on Fowler-Nordheim plot analysis
Andreas Fischer, Marwan S. Mousa, Richard G. Forbes
Recent research has described an improved method of Fowler-Nordheim plot analysis, based on the definition and evaluation of a slope correction factor and a new form of intercept c…
Illustrating field emission theory by using Lauritsen plots of transmission probability and barrier strength
Richard G. Forbes, Jonathan H. B. Deane, Andreas Fischer +1
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 'L…
Improved approach to Fowler-Nordheim plot analysis
Richard G. Forbes, Andreas Fischer, Marwan S. Mousa
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…
