Abstract :
Most Fowler-Nordheim plots are analyzed using orthodox or elementary theory. If emission situations are not orthodox, results may be spurious. An FN-plot-based test has been devised for deciding when emission systems are not orthodox. This poster describes how to use a spreadsheet to apply the test, and presents specimen results.
