The emission energy of the particles is calculated from the electric field close to the cathode. In some cases the particles are accelerated due to additional physical effects, for example when a cathode is heated. To consider these effects, it is possible to define additional kinetic settings. The total emission energy is the sum of both independent energies. |
Additional kinetic settings
In this section, the kinetic emission settings can be entered. For further details open the Kinetic Particle Settings page.
Fowler Nordheim settings
In this section, the field emission settings can be entered. Have also a look at the Fowler Nordheim equation below:
Scaling factor
(a)
Select the factor a of the Fowler Nordheim equation. The constant a has
to be greater than zero.
Exp. factor (b)
Select the factor b of the Fowler Nordheim equation. The constant b has
to be greater than zero.
