An Online Tool for Thermal-Field Emission Calculations from Metal and Semiconducting Emitters

Abstract

We present an online calculation tool that aspires to become the standard method of the field emission community for calculating emission characteristics and analyzing current-voltage (I-V) measurements. Our model is applicable to both metal and semiconductor emitters, considering nanometric curvatures and thermal-field emission. Our tool is developed in the form of a web application (https://getelec.org), which can be used to easily calculate the current density, Nottingham heat, electron spectra, and analyze I-V data.
