Energy-resolved analysis of ferroelectric electron emission from TGS using emission electron microscopy

Energy distribution of plasma-assisted electron and ion emission from TGS single crystals

“…The electrons and ions with energies up to 300 eV extracted from surface plasma initiated on TGS sample surface during switching process were reported by Rosenman et al [20] and Shur et al [21]. The electrons with energies extend up to a few hundreds of eV, produced on TGS single crystals by ac (300 Hz) switching sinusoidal voltage, were also measured by Klias et al [22].…”

“…It was reported earlier in [5,17] that under the influence of a drive ac electric field the TGS crystal samples can operate as a source of electrons with energies up to a few tens of eV and even the electron energies can be gained to about 200 eV [22]; under plasma-assisted surface processes the electrons and ions with energies up to a few hundred of eV can be produced on pure and La alanine doped TGS single crystals [17][18][19][20][21].…”
