摘要: The mechanisms of electron and ion generation from Taylor cones liquid metals are discussed. In the case emission vacuum arcing mechanism Swanson Schwind, which accounts for observed high current repetitive pulsing is briefly reviewed. For onset to regime proposed. It concluded that at ions generated exclusively by field desorption. A theory account emitter heating advanced, it currents result ionization thermally evaporated atoms. shown space charge becomes important even very low and'is instrumental in providing stabilization all regimes emission.
