Abstract
It is well known that electric fields necessary to produce appreciable electron current via field emission are on the order of Gv/m. An applied electric field is greatly enhanced in the neighborhood of sharp corners, edges, and tips, thus enabling field emission. In this work we used an analytical approach to calculate the surface field enhancement and the field emission current obtained from the knife-edge cathodes.
