Abstract
This paper aims to analyze the cold field electron emission from bulk metals using both Fowler-Nordheim and Millikan-Lauritsen plots. The use of Millikan-Lauritsen plots is demonstrated to investigate the validity of Fowler-Nordheim theory. It is recommended that Millikan-Lauritsen plots, rather than Fowler-Nordheim plots, can be used as a basic tool for analyzing experimental field emission data.
