2 results about "Field electron emission" patented technology

Field electron emission (also known as field emission (FE) and electron field emission) is emission of electrons induced by an electrostatic field. The most common context is field emission from a solid surface into vacuum. However, field emission can take place from solid or liquid surfaces, into vacuum, air, a fluid, or any non-conducting or weakly conducting dielectric. The field-induced promotion of electrons from the valence to conduction band of semiconductors (the Zener effect) can also be regarded as a form of field emission. The terminology is historical because related phenomena of surface photoeffect, thermionic emission (or Richardson–Dushman effect) and "cold electronic emission", i.e. the emission of electrons in strong static (or quasi-static) electric fields, were discovered and studied independently from the 1880s to 1930s. When field emission is used without qualifiers it typically means "cold emission".

Nanoplasma switch with vertical electrode structure

ActiveCN122025492BSolid cathode detailsPotential differenceField electron emission
The application belongs to the technical field of nano-plasmonic switch, and relates to a nano-plasmonic switch with a vertical electrode structure, which comprises, from bottom to top, a substrate layer, a first conductive layer, a dielectric layer and a second conductive layer; the dielectric layer is provided with a cavity vertically penetrating the dielectric layer along the stacking direction, the second conductive layer covers one end of the cavity away from the first conductive layer and is arranged in a spaced mode with the first conductive layer; an excitation voltage is applied to the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer to form a potential difference between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer, so that the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer are used as electrodes, and the cavity is used as an electrode gap to form the nano-plasmonic switch with the vertical electrode structure. The application can increase the effective field electron emission area, reduce the difficulty of switch conduction, and shorten the time required for the switch to change from the cutoff state to the fully on state, and the response speed is fast.
