Abstract
Cabrera et al. have reported and explained a voltage-scaling effect, as distance d between an emitter and plane varies. An alternative approach here splits the explanation into parts related to the emission physics and the system electrostatics, and has advantages. The basic need is to keep a characteristic field constant.
