  • Abstract
    In this paper, we propose a model of spatial confinement quantization of electron states and of tunneling field emission from these states. The model can also account for the observed orders-of-magnitude differences between the total emission currents from capped and opened CNT, even if one neglects the edge-induced field enhancement at opened CNT tips.
