Exact analysis of surface field reduction due to field-emitted vacuum space charge, in parallel-plane geometry, using simple dimensionless equations

This paper reports (a) a simple dimensionless equation relating to field-emitted vacuum space charge (FEVSC) in parallel-plane geometry, namely 9ζ2θ2−3θ−4ζ+3=0, where ζ is the FEVSC “strength” and θ is the reduction in emitter surface field (θ=field-with/field-without FEVSC), and (b) the formula j=9θ2ζ/4, where j is the ratio of emitted current density JP to that predicted by Child’s law. These equations apply to any charged particle, positive or negative, emitted with near-zero kinetic energy. They yield existing and additional basic formulas in planar FEVSC theory. The first equation also yields the well-known cubic equation describing the relationship between JP and applied voltage; a method of analytical solution is described. Illustrative FEVSC effects in a liquid metal ion source and in field electron emission are discussed. For Fowler–Nordheim plots, a “turn-over” effect is predicted in the high FEVSC limit. The higher the voltage-to-local-field conversion factor for the emitter concerned, then the...
