Field emission from surface states in semiconductors
Abstract
The consequences of tunneling from surface states on the total energy distribution of field emitted electrons from a clean germanium surface are investigated in some detail. A model for the surface states due to Handler is employed and tunneling from the surface states is treated semiclassically. The results of the calculation are compared with available experimental data.
