Dependence of optimal spacing on applied field in ungated field emitter arrays
In ungated field emitter arrays, the field enhancement factor β of each emitter tip is reduced below the value it would have in isolation due to the presence of adjacent emitters, an effect known as shielding or screening. Reducing the distance b between emitters increases the density of emission si...
