Abstract :
The paper presents the results of a theoretical analysis of the influence of electric fields, temperature gradients and the effects of mutual electron-phonon drag on the thermal-field-emission properties of metals. In approximation of two-fluid hydrodynamics for electrons and phonons, the processes of energy release and dissipation in the bulk of a metallic thermal-field-emission cathode have been investigated
