Recent progress made in the prediction, characterisation, and mitigation of multipactor
discharge is reviewed for single‐and two‐surface geometries. First, an overview of basic …

The study of charge carrier transport at nanoscale electrical contacts is crucial for the
development of next-generation electronics. This paper reviews recent modeling efforts on …

We study the current density-voltage (J− V) characteristics of dissimilar metal-insulator-metal
(MIM) nanoscale tunneling junctions using a self-consistent quantum model. The model …

In this paper, we develop an exact analytical quantum theory for field emission from surfaces
with a nearby quantum well, by solving the one-dimensional time-independent Schrödinger …

This paper presents an exact analytical theory for field emission from dielectric coated
cathode surfaces, by solving the one-dimensional (1D) Schrödinger equation with a double …

It remains difficult to obtain a carbon nanotube (CNT) emitter that simultaneously exhibits
high current density, low fluctuation, and long service time because CNTs are easily …

Field emission cathodes made from single bulk carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers have
demonstrated high emission currents and long lifetimes. This paper investigates the goal of …

This paper explores direct density modulation of high-current electron beam emission from
an RF cold cathode using optical excitation. We theoretically study the photo-assisted field …

Highly conductive nanoscale electrical contacts suffer from strong current crowding at the
contact edges, which can lead to nonuniform heat deposition; the formation of local hot …
