Field electron emission theory (October 2016),v2

Abstract

This document provides an updated account of material originally presented in two field electron emission (FE) tutorial lectures given at the 2016 Young Researchers' School in Vacuum Micro/Nano Electronics, held in Saint-Petersburg in October 2016. The aim of the tutorial lectures was to set out modern versions of some of the basics of mainstream FE theory. This paper indicates, in some depth, the scope, structure and content of the tutorials, and also where some of the related published material can be found.
