In this paper, we derive analytically from first principles a generalized Fowler–Nordheim
(FN) type equation that takes into account the curvature of a nanoscopic emitter and is …

The following tutorial review is directed to graduate students willing to be part of the
emerging field of ultrafast structural dynamics. It provides them with an introduction to the …

We advocate the use of lookup tables in the development of extremely fast and accurate
multiscale models based on the coupling of a quantum-mechanical wave impedance …

Electron emission and transport through and over potential barriers is an essential process
requiring modeling and simulation to meet the design needs and characterization of an …

In the literature about field emission, finite elements and finite differences techniques are
being increasingly employed to understand the local field enhancement factor (FEF) via …

During the previous decade, Jensen et al. developed a general analytical model that
successfully describes electron emission from metals both in the field and thermionic …

Tunneling barriers are an essential component of electron sources, sensors, detectors, and
vacuum nanoelectronics and a pivotal factor in their performance, but the barriers …

A numerical solution to the time evolution equation of the Wigner distribution function (WDF)
with an accuracy necessary to simulate the passage of a wave packet past a barrier is …

Electron emission into a nanogap is not instantaneous, which presents a difficulty in
simulating ultra-fast behavior using particle models. A method of approximating the …

Analytic image charge approximations exist for planar and spherical metal surfaces but
approximations for more complex geometries, such as the conical and wirelike structures …
