Local Electric Field Variation in the Field Emission Process
Tunnelling probabilities in field emission processes are usually calculated assuming flat emitting surfaces. This corresponds to consider the electric field as a constant along the potential barrier. Previous work have shown the importance of taking into account image effects but neglecting local field variations. Even when the local field has been taken into account, a proper three dimensional...
متن کاملOn the Lorentz local electric field in soft-matter systems.
In electric-field-responsive soft-matter systems, the suspended particles respond to the Lorentz local field (LLF), yielding abundant important phenomena. Even though the particles can easily rotate, the LLF was conventionally adopted as a quantity that is independent of rotations in the literature. In contrast, here we design an experiment to measure the LLF between two metallic spheres, one o...
متن کاملInfluence of the Electric Field on Secondary Electron Emission Yield
We present results of the investigation of secondary electron emission from spherical amorphous carbon grains of 3 to 6 micrometers in diameter affected by a high surface field. In our experiment, we have applied a technique based on levitation of a single charged grain in the quadrupole trap. This grain was charged by an electron beam with an energy tunable up to 10 keV. During this process, t...
متن کاملTerahertz emission from electric field singularities in biased semiconductors.
We use electric field singularities in biased metal semiconductor microstructures to enhance the generation of terahertz (THz) radiation from semiconductors. We find that, regardless of the mechanism that is responsible for enhanced THz emission near the anode, singular electric fields near sharp anode features will enhance this emission by as much as an order of magnitude. We show scanning THz...
متن کاملOrigin of electric field enhancement in field emission from amorphous carbon thin films
The observation of electron emission from amorphous carbon thin films at low applied electric fields is explained in terms of an enhancement of the field brought about by dielectric inhomogeneities within the film. These inhomogeneities originate from the differences between conductive, spatially localized sp C clusters surrounded by a more insulating sp matrix. By a more complete understanding...
