  • Abstract
    The researches of field emission from liquid metal surface showed that the process consists of two basic stages. At the first stage the hydrodynamic instability develops on a surface of a conducting liquid and, as a result, the microstructures with a high amplification factor of the external field are formed. At the second stage, under the action of a strong field, the emission processes are initiated
