Current Density Tables for Field Emission Theory

Abstract

The Fowler-Nordheim field emission equation permits calculation of current density $J$ as a function of surface electric field $F$ and work function $\phi$. Computed values of $J$ for $1.00\times {10}^7<F<\mathrm{}1.00\mathrm{}\times {10}^8$ v/cm and for $2.00<\mathrm{}\phi <6.30\mathrm{}$ ev are tabulated; the table is of use in connection with several theoretical and experimental aspects of field emission.
