This conference presentation is part of continuing work to clarify the theory of cold field electron emission (CFE). It addresses the issue that some general physics textbooks and many published experimental papers use one or more CFE equations that are known to CFE theoreticians to be defective. These defective equations have been in wide use for 15 years or more: they impede the interpretation of...
This conference poster reports two improved methods of extracting area-like information from measured current-voltage [im(Vm)] characteristics for cold field electron emission (CFE). Results are valid only if the emission situation is orthodox. These methods: (a) confirm “by experiment” the long-held theoretical expectation that in CFE theory the Schottky-Nordheim (SN) barrier is a better physical...
