Field electron emission (FEE) is a unique quantum-mechanical effect of electrons tunneling from a condensed matter (solid or liquid) into a vacuum. The efficiency of this emission process is tens of millions of times higher than in other known emission processes. The extremely...

Field emission is a phenomenon described by quantum mechanics. Its emission capability is millions times higher than that of any other known types of electron emission. Nowadays this phenomenon is experiencing a new life due to wonderful applications in the atomic resolution...
