Abstract

The field electron emission from extending states through a localized energy level in a phenomenological way has been discussed. The method of non-equilibrium Green function is adopted. The physical origin of the enhancement of field-emission can be understood from the potential-energy diagram. For the higher temperature, the localized level can be occupied in weaker field. Correspondingly, the transition field of temperature 400 K is weaker than that of T=300 K. The current predicted by conventional F-N theory is weaker than the current of the present calculation that includes the localized level effect
