Physics-based logarithmic description of electrostatic field enhancement in hemisphere-on-cylindrical-post structures for high-field applications
Thiago A. de Assis, Fernando F. Dall-Agnol, Richard G. Forbes
Electrostatic (ES) field enhancement at sharp conducting structures plays a central role in lightning protection, corona discharge, electrical breakdown in vacuum (for example in p…
Summary overview of present state of basic electrostatic field electron emission theory
Richard G. Forbes
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 applicatio…
Methods for characterization of atomic-scale field emission point-electron-source
Shuai Tang, Mingkai Gou, Yingzhou Hu +7
Field emission (FE) electron sources are made close to atomic-scale to reach the highest spatial resolution as well as stable emission for electron microscopy, electron beam inspec…
Frontiers of atom probe tomography physics, data processing, and analysis
Emmanuelle A. Marquis, Arun Devaraj, Richard G. Forbes +10
Atom probe tomography (APT) fills a crucial need in the characterization workflow of materials by its ability to inform the 3D chemical microstructure at the nanoscale. As with any…
