Abstract :
In the paper, we examine the validity of traditional electron models (e.g. field emission, thermionic emission and photoemission) for graphene, and then propose new electron emission mechanisms and models to account for the unique properties of graphene. Also, some applications based on novel emission mechanism are explored.
