A 3-dimensional calculation of the field emission current and emission angle of a vacuum transistor as a function of gate voltage and radius of curvature of the emitter
We have calculated the electrical characteristics of a vacuum transistor withsharp, pointed emitter and collector with a radius of curvature R<20nm with the aim of revealing the advantages of such emitters. For such surfaces the traditional Fowler-Nordheim theory which pertains to a parallel plat...
