Electron Emission from Cold Cathodes in Fields with High Rates of Rise

Abstract

An expression is derived for the time dependent tunneling probability for electron emission from a cold cathode in an electric field with a high rate of rise. The solution is described, and the results are discussed with respect to the static Fowler-Nordheim results.
