Field-emission devices have moved from specialized applications to become potential candidates for a future beyond-complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) circuits, offering superior performance at extreme temperatures, in harsh environments, and at high frequencies, due to their reliance on ballistic transport in vacuum-like or nanogap air-filled environments rather than solid-state lattice transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeginning with the mechanisms of electron emission from materials and highlighting the role of nanotechnology in field emission, the Fowler-Nordheim theory of field emission is extensively treated. Enhancements of the Fowler-Nordheim theory and its various alternatives are addressed, with emphasis on the Schottky-Nordheim transmission barrier, the Murphy-Good theory, and efforts made to rephrase and reformulate the standard Fowler-Nordheim theory. On the practical side, the key components of field-emission devices, namely, cold cathodes, arrays, and electron guns, are described. Applications covered include field-emission displays and lamps, diodes and transistors, microwave power tubes (magnetrons, gyrotrons, klystrons, and traveling-wave tubes [TWTs]), information storage devices, sensors, electron microscopy, spectroscopy, scanning probe lithography, X-ray tubes, electric propulsion thrusters, and charge neutralizers. This book concludes with a discussion of research challenges and the future outlook for field-emission nanoelectronics. This book will be immensely useful to graduate and research students, engineers, and scientists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey features: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides a simplified and up-to-date treatment of the theory and technological applications of field emission in nanoelectronics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eShowcases each field-emission application by unveiling its operation, unique benefits, fabrication process, key milestones, and emerging research directions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBrings the underlying mathematical concepts to life with abundant, easy-to-follow examples\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CRC Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48209908039831,"sku":"9781041145622","price":31580.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781041145622.webp?v=1788714414","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/field-emission-vacuum-nanoelectronics-a-birds-eye-view-of-theory-and-practical-applications-9781041145622","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
