Field induced electron emission from graphene nanostructures

Laser-induced ultrafast electron emission from a field emission tip

We show that a fi eld emission tip electron source that is triggered with a femtosecond laser pulse can generate electron pulses shorter than the laser pulse duration (100  fs). The emission process is sensitive to a power law of the laser intensity, which supports an emission mechanism based on multiphoton absorption followed by over-the-barrier emission. Observed continuous transitions betw...

Field Emission Microscopy, Spectroscopy,Scanning Electron Microscopy and Field Emission Phenomena from Graphene-like Structures

The presented paper gives a general overview of studies of field emission from carbon nanoclusters. The special attention has been given to the study of emission processes in the strong and super strong electric fields from graphene-like structures. The direct experiments have confirmed the phenomena of the low threshold field emission and explosive emission from carbon nanoclusters. Experiment...

Models of Field Induced Electron Emission from Electrolytic Conductors

A theory of field induced electron emission from electrolytic conductors is proposed in which an electron associated with an immobile anion at the surface is destabilised as a cation moves into the bulk. This electron may be thermally emitted over a field-lowered barrier. Equations are developed for the potential barrier that must be surmounted by the electron and the form of the current versus...
