Abstract
Field ion emission from flat polar surfaces of ferroelectric crystals is predicted. Fast reorientation of the polar axis of such crystals may produce surface electrostatic fields of about 108 V cm−1. The induced nonequilibrium charge may be screened by ion emission. The experimental conditions under which various kinds of ion emission may be observed are discussed.
