  • Abstract
    Enhanced field emission at the contact of metal and dielectric is theoretically investigated by making analytic and numerical calculations of the electric field near the triple junction of metal-dielectric-vacuum. It is also found that this enhancement is responsible for the vacuum breakdown. The present results suggest that the triple junction can be a candidate for a new type of cold cathode
