Field Emission in Vacuum Microelectronics ISBN: 9780387274195 Platform/Publisher: SpringerLink / Springer US Digital rights:Users: unlimited; Printing: unlimited; Download: unlimited Subjects: Physics and Astronomy;
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 microscopy, in electronic holography, and in the vacuum micro- and nanoelectronics in general. The main field emission properties, and some most remarkable experimental facts and applications, are described in this book.
