Using Murphy-Good Plots to Interpret Field Emission Current-Voltage Data
Richard G. Forbes
This paper focuses on one small but significant part of a long-term project that aims to improve the interpretation of measured field electron emission (FE) current-voltage [I_m(V_…
21st Century Planar Field Emission Theory and its Role in Vacuum Breakdown Science
Richard G. Forbes
For explaining electrical breakdown, field electron emission (FE) is a mechanism of interest. In the period 2006 to 2010 there were significant developments in basic FE theory, but…
Comment on 'Design and circuit simulation of nanoscale vacuum channel transistors' by J. Xu, Y. Qin, Y. Shi, Y. Yang and X. Zhang, Nanoscale Adv. 2020, 2, 3582
Richard G. Forbes
These comments aim to correct some apparent weaknesses in the theory of field electron emission given in a recent paper about nanoscale vacuum channel transistors, and to improve t…
Comment on "Advanced field emission measurement techniques for research on modern cold cathode materials and their applications for transmission-type x-ray sources" [Rev. Sci. Instrum. 91, 083906 (2020)]
Richard G. Forbes
This Comment suggests that technological field electron emission (FE) papers, such as the paper under discussion [P. Serbun et al.,, Rev. Sci. Instrum. 91, 083906 (2020)], should u…
Modeling the Field Emission Enhancement Factor for Capped Carbon Nanotubes using the Induced Electron Density
Caio P. de Castro, Thiago A. de Assis, Roberto Rivelino +3
In many field electron emission experiments on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), the SWCNT stands on one of two well-separated parallel plane plates, with a macroscopic fiel…
Implementation of the orthodoxy test as a validity check on experimental field emission data
Mohammad M. Allaham, Richard G. Forbes, Alexander Knapek +1
In field electron emission (FE) studies, it is important to check and analyse the quality and validity of experimental current-voltage data, which is usually plotted in one of a sm…
