Featured Application

This research is useful to understanding generalized electron emission in low-dimensional conducting materials.

Abstract

This research focuses on exploring generalized electron emissions in one-dimensional conducting materials, specifically examining field emission and thermionic emission. Additionally, this study investigates one-dimensional thermal radiation. The current density is derived for both one-dimensional thermionic emission and one-dimensional field emission. A generalized current density in one dimension is devised, taking into account arbitrary accelerating fields and temperature conditions. The formula for the one-dimensional current density is depicted with accelerating field and temperature across various work function materials. The emission current is represented as a function of temperature for various electric fields. The emission current is also represented as a function of the electric field for various temperatures.
Keywords: field emission; thermionic emission; electron emission; one-dimensional conductors; low dimensional materials field emission; thermionic emission; electron emission; one-dimensional conductors; low dimensional materials
