Abstract
On the basis of the earlier proposed theory of electron emission in insulators more detailed expressions for the current density in the thermionic and thermionic-field region are developed under the assumption of a Schottky image potential barrier near the metal-insulator interface. Current-field characteristics of AlAl 2O 3Al sandwiches with relatively thick oxide layers (50–150 Å) have been measured at suitable applied voltages. Rather good quantitative agreement between theoretical equations and experimental data is found.
