Abstract
This conference poster comments on the reliability of a recently published book on the topic of “Fowler-Nordheim Field Emission: Effects in Semiconductor Nanostructures”. The precise origin of important equations in the book is unclear, and one important equation checked apparently does not reduce to a Fowler-Nordheim-type equation in circumstances where it ought to do so. It is concluded that the derivations of equations in this book need to be checked before scientific use.
