High-resolution electron energy distribution measurements of individual microscopic sites
have been used to develop a detailed theoretical model of the field-induced hot-electron …

An optical imaging technique is described that compares the spatial distribution of vacuum
field emission sites on a planar cathode at fields of 10-20 Mv m-1 in high-pressure (10 bar) …

An anode probe-hole technique, in conjunction with an electron spectrometer, has been
used to study the short-term temporal changes in the emission characteristics of …

A high resolution electron spectrometer has been used for a study of the energy spectra of
electrons field emitted from carbon fibre cathodes. This has shown that the emission is not …

Instrumental techniques are described for displaying (a) the spatial distribution of field
emission sites on planar high voltage electrodes and (b) the emission current pattern within …

Recent evidence suggests that the prebreakdown currents that flow between vacuum-
insulated high voltage electrodes frequently originate from a non-metallic emission …

The author presents a bibliography covering the field of electrical discharges in vacuum,
comprising both electrical breakdown in vacuum and vacuum arcs. A brief section lists some …

It has been experimentally demonstrated that micrometersized particles of graphite
deposited on the surface of copper and niobium electrodes can promote the field emission …
