Abstract
This tutorial lecture will present aspects of the basic theory of cold field electron emission (CFE). The aim is to keep the physical and mathematical arguments at a level within the grasp of an average engineering graduate student. Part of the aim is to indicate more clearly the limitations of standard Fowler-Nordheim (FN) theory (which, of course, is a free-electron theory of tunnelling through a Schottky-Nordheim barrier, notionally at 0 K)
