Simulation-Based Model of Randomly Distributed Large-Area Field Electron Emitters

With a large-area field electron emitter (LAFE), it is desirable to choose the spacings of individual emitters in such a way that the LAFE-average emission current density and total current are maximised, when the effects of electrostatic depolarization (mutual screening) are taken into account. Thi...
