The processing of local IVCs obtained by the method of post-processing of the emission patterns of a large-area nanocomposite emitter has been processed. The diagram “apex radius / effective height” for local emission sites has been obtained. A shift in the effective height of individual emission centers with a reduced current load, which is associated with an increase in their work function, has been found.","PeriodicalId":346266,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE 36th International Vacuum Nanoelectronics Conference (IVNC)","volume":"177 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134212618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examine an extension of the model to treat instead a function sequence (a rectangular barrier that approaches the behavior of a function in the limit of vanishing width). It is shown how the eigenstates of the sequence converge on the function barrier eigenstates, but more importantly, how the even and odd parity states depart from the 6-function limiting case. The exact eigenstates enable the time evolution of exponentially attenuated tunneling to be exactly evaluated, in contrast to numerical methods. The application is the inclusion of tunneling time effects in simulations of time-varying electron emission.","PeriodicalId":346266,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE 36th International Vacuum Nanoelectronics Conference (IVNC)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125925560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
