In Field Emission measurement Eturn ON (threshold voltage), Jmax (maximum current density) and Beta (field enhancement factor) are main important parameter......What is more important?
Where Beta is directly dependent on surface morphology but some scholars calculating it with the help of work function of the material ..... What is most appropriate method to calculate Beta?
It must be remembered that of the three named parameters, only one - Beta - is a model, a virtual setting. The remaining ones are determined by measuring the experimental values - currents. Beta is introduced to configure model law Fowler-Nordheim to describe the experimental data. Beta depends also on the geometry of the emitter surface, and the properties of the composite material.
