In models of field emission the needle is usually terminated by a hemispherical cap. Here
we choose to terminate it with a hemiellipsoidal cap and use a three-dimensional Wentzel …

Some of the modern aspects of field emission based electron sources have been collated in
a short and comprehensive review. The usually overlooked peculiar aspects in this research …

We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of field electron emission from
an ultrasharp carbon tip with a subnanometer radius formed by a field-emission-induced …

We report a combined experimental and theoretical study of Gundlach resonances U n in
scanning tunneling spectroscopy at constant current over an exceptional range of energy …

When the radius of curvature R of an electron emitter is below 5 nm existing theories of field
emission from curved surfaces fail because they assume a constant supply of electrons …

We have theoretically explained the experimentally observed scaling properties of the
current–voltage (I–V) characteristics of a field-emission tunnelling diode with respect to the …

This work presents a semianalytical theory of cold field emission, based on a
multidimensional, semiclassical approximation to the time-independent Schrödinger …

It is customary to calculate the field emission (FE) from nanometric curvature surfaces by
relying only on the solution of the Laplace equation for the form of the barrier while the …

We have calculated by a 3-dimensional (3D) WKB method the transmission coefficient T (θ)
of open carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as a function of the angle θ and the geometry of the tube …

We have examined the tunneling potential between two carbon nanotubes (CNTs)
immersed in a dielectric matrix, with each pair of them being in a different geometrical …
