Onset of space charge limited current for field emission from a single sharp tip

A protrusive model of the Child-Langmuir (CL) law is proposed for non-uniform electron field emission from a sharp tip of either Lorentzian or hyperboloid shape. The model is expressed as Jc = μ×J1D at large electric field higher than a critical value Ec, and J1D is the classical one-dimensional CL...
