Abstract

Electron emission characteristics are described for two generic field emitter structures: a cone and a wedge. Effects of variations in emitter geometry on electron current, spectral and temporal dispersion of eletron emission, and emitter heating are calculated analytically and by computer simulation. Several guidelines for emitter design are suggested.
