Abstract :
New approach to thermal-to-electrical energy conversion problem on the bases of the thermal field electron emission phenomenon for vacuum emission systems with a nanostructured surface electron sources is offered and developed. Physical and numerical modeling of an electron emission and transport processes for different electron-optical systems is carried out.
