Fowler-Nordheim-like local injection of photoelectrons from a silicon tip
Tunneling between a photoexcited p-type silicon tip and a gold surface is studied as a function of tip bias, tip-sample distance, and light intensity. In order to extend the range of application of future spin injection experiments, the measurements are carried out under nitrogen gas at room temperature. It is found that, while tunneling of valence band electrons is described by a standard proc...
متن کاملFowler - Nordheim Plot Analysis : a Progress Report Richard
The commonest method of characterizing a cold field electron emitter is to measure its current-voltage characteristics, and the commonest method of analysing these characteristics is by means of a Fowler-Nordheim (FN) plot. This tutorial/review-type paper outlines a more systematic method of setting out the Fowler-Nordheim-type theory of cold field electron emission, and brings together and sum...
متن کاملAnalysis of the effects of constant-current Fowler-Nordheim-tunneling injection with charge trapping inside the potential barrier
Charge trapping and the generation of interface traps in thermally grown Si02 and its interface with silicon, produced by Fowler-Nordheim tunneling injection at low temperatures from highly doped Si substrates, have been investigated. The results that can be obtained with the constant-current-injection method, when a moderate amount of charge is trapped inside the potential barrier, have been a...
متن کاملElectron emission: From the Fowler-Nordheim relation to the Child-Langmuir law
Universal voltage-current characteristics are presented for a planar diode, showing the general transition from the Fowler-Nordheim relation to the Child-Langmuir law. These curves are normalized to the intrinsic scales that are constructed from the Fowler-Nordheim coefficients A, B. They provide an immediate assessment of the importance of the space charge effects, once the gap voltage, gap sp...
متن کاملA Fowler-Nordheim Integrator can Track the Density of Prime Numbers
Does there exist a naturally occurring counting device that might elucidate the hidden structure of prime numbers? is a question that has fascinated computer scientists and mathematical physicists for decades1, 2. While most recent research in this area have explored the role of the Riemann zeta-function3 in different formulations of statistical mechanics, condensed matter physics4–6 and quantu...
