Notes:
The effect of thin molybdenum films on molybdenum cathodes on the prebreakdown current between molybdenum electrodes in high vacuum has been studied. Films of four thicknesses: 10, 30, 100, and 300 A(ring) were used and the Fowler–Nordheim plots were made to determine the field enhancement factor β and the electron emission area a. Maximum reduction of the prebreakdown current by a factor of 3000 was observed. The reduction in the current is a result of a decrease of both the field enhancement factor and the electron emission area of the cathode.
