Electron emission from metal emitters subject to a high intensity laser in the presence of DC electric fields

Electron emission driven by both a strong DC applied bias and a superimposed laser field is examined through numerical simulations. Heating at the electrode surface that creates a dynamic, nonequilibrium electron distribution is included based on appropriate rate-equation analyses for energy balance...
