A numerical and efficient model for thermo-field electron emission calculations
Salvador Barranco Cárceles, Andreas Kyritsakis, Anthony Ayari
As electron sources are reduced in size, fabricated in new materials, or pushed for performance, the analytical formulations for thermo-field electron emission, namely Fowler-Nordh…
Coupled simulation of plasma-surface interactions during early stages of vacuum arcing
Roni Koitermaa, Andreas Kyritsakis, Tauno Tiirats +2
We describe fully coupled simulations that bridge atomistic cathode dynamics and plasma formation during the earliest stages of vacuum arcing. The model combines molecular dynamics…
Influence of an external static magnetic field on prebreakdown electron emission and heating
Roni Koitermaa, Marzhan Toktaganova, Andreas Kyritsakis +4
High magnetic fields can increase the occurrence of vacuum arcing, suggesting that both electric and magnetic fields can play a role in the vacuum arcing process. The mechanism of…
Towards 4D modelisation of thermal-field emission from semiconductors
Salvador Barranco Cárceles, Aquila Mavalankar, Veronika Zadin +2
The theoretical picture of thermal field-emission (TFE) from semiconductors has been limited to 1D and 2D models. This can be attributed to the complex and interdependent phenomena…
Theory and computation of thermal-field emission from semiconductors
Salvador Barranco Cárceles, Veronika Zadin, Aquila Mavalankar +2
Semiconducting field emitters present some interesting features (e.g.; self-limited electron emission) for both scientific interest and industrial applications. The analysis of exp…
Fundamentals of Vacuum Breakdown in High-Field Systems
Walter Wuensch, Sergio Calatroni, Flyura Djurabekova +2
This review consolidates experimental, theoretical, and simulation work examining the behavior of high-field devices and the fundamental process of vacuum arc initiation, commonly…
