Theory of field emission from dielectric coated surfaces

This paper presents an exact analytical theory for field emission from dielectric coated cathode surfaces, by solving the one-dimensional (1D) Schrödinger equation with a double-triangular potential barrier introduced by the coating. The effects of the cathode material (work function and Fermi energ...
