Unveiling the Nottingham Inversion Instability during the thermo-field emission from refractory metal micro-protrusions

Abstract The electron emission by micro-protrusions has been studied for over a century, but the complete explanation of the unstable behaviors and their origin remains an open issue. These systems often evolve towards vacuum breakdown, which makes experimental studies of instabilities very difficul...
