The pre-exponential voltage-exponent as a sensitive test parameter for field emission theories

For field electron emission (FE), an empirical equation for measured current Im as a function of measured voltage Vm has the form Im = CVmk exp[–B/Vm], where B is a constant and C and k are constants or vary weakly with Vm. Values for k can be extracted (i) from simulations based on some specific FE...
