  2. Field electron emission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_electron_emission

    Care is necessary because in some contexts (e.g. spacecraft engineering), the name "field emission" is applied to the field-induced emission of ions (field ion emission), rather than electrons, and because in some theoretical contexts "field emission" is used as a general name covering both field electron emission and field ion emission.

  4. Stimulated emission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stimulated_emission

    Stimulated emission was a theoretical discovery by Albert Einstein within the framework of the old quantum theory, wherein the emission is described in terms of photons that are the quanta of the EM field. [5] [6] Stimulated emission can also occur in classical models, without reference to photons or quantum-mechanics.

  5. Thermionic emission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermionic_emission

    In this regime, the combined effects of field-enhanced thermionic and field emission can be modeled by the Murphy-Good equation for thermo-field (T-F) emission. [35] At even higher fields, FN tunneling becomes the dominant electron emission mechanism, and the emitter operates in the so-called "cold field electron emission (CFE)" regime.

  6. Schottky effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schottky_effect

    The Schottky effect or field enhanced thermionic emission is a phenomenon in condensed matter physics named after Walter H. Schottky. In electron emission devices, especially electron guns, the thermionic electron emitter will be biased negative relative to its surroundings. This creates an electric field of magnitude F at the

  7. Feynman diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feynman_diagram

    The rules for spin-⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ Dirac particles are as follows: The propagator is the inverse of the Dirac operator, the lines have arrows just as for a complex scalar field, and the diagram acquires an overall factor of −1 for each closed Fermi loop. If there are an odd number of Fermi loops, the diagram changes sign.

  8. Field ion microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_ion_microscope

    Field evaporation is a field induced process which involves the removal of atoms from the surface itself at very high field strengths and typically occurs in the range 2-5 V/Å. The effect of the field in this case is to reduce the effective binding energy of the atom to the surface and to give, in effect, a greatly increased evaporation rate ...

  9. Townsend discharge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Townsend_discharge

    The original ionisation event liberates one electron, and each subsequent collision liberates a further electron, so two electrons emerge from each collision to sustain the avalanche. In electromagnetism , the Townsend discharge or Townsend avalanche is an ionisation process for gases where free electrons are accelerated by an electric field ...
