This review of the quantitative electrostatics of field emitters, covering analytical, numerical
and'fitted formula'approaches, is thought the first of its kind in the 100 years of the subject …

Flexoelectricity is the polar response of an insulator to strain gradients such as bending.
While the size dependence makes it weak in bulk systems in comparison to piezoelectricity …

In many field electron emission experiments on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs),
the SWCNT stands on one of two well-separated parallel plane plates, with a macroscopic …

The default assumption of many density-functional theory codes that the simulation cell is
spatially periodic implies that any unbalanced charge in the cell will cause the solution to …

When solving the Laplace equation numerically via computer simulation, in order to
determine the field values at the surface of a shape model that represents a field emitter, it is …

Experiments on field electron emission (FE) of single carbon nanotubes (CNTs) indicate that
they exhibit a nearly linear Fowler–Nordheim plot, and the field enhancement factor (FEF) …

The apex region of a capped (5, 5) carbon nanotube (CNT) has been modelled with the DFT
package ONETEP, using boundary conditions provided by a classical calculation with a …

Spin-polarised electron beams are an invaluable probe of spin-dependent phenomena in
fields of atomic and molecular physics, magnetism and biophysics. For this purpose, this …

The erosion impact on the microelectrode channel of the cooling medium's motion is
studied. Using the equation of continuity for a fluid flow inside the microelectrode channel …

The recently computed result for charge density penetrating into the barrier region of a
capped (5, 5) carbon nanotube in zero applied field is compared with the analysis of Kohn …
