Abstract:

A simple numerical model is proposed to describe the complex of phenomena associated with field-induced electron emission from nanostractured materials. The performed simulations demonstrated that many of the features of experimentally observed emission behavior of nanocarbonic films may be explained in the assumption of indirect (two-stage) mechanism of electron transfer to vacuum via intermediary states located by the emitter surface.
