Abstract :
The modified neglect of diatomic overlap semiempirical quantum mechanical method, a multiscale quantum/classical hybrid method, is used to simulate the field electron emission in single-wall carbon nanotubes. The classical analysis and quantum computations have shown that a larger separation of the anode from the emitter enhances the field electron emission
