The field emission of a tungsten point cathode at very low emission currents was investigated by means of a secondary emission multiplier. The validity of the Fowler-Nordheim equation was experimentally confirmed within the range from 10−8 to 10−19 A. The dependence of the total emission current on temperature and electrical field strength was measured in the transition region between thermionic and field emission. A comparison is drawn with the theory ofMurphy andGood.
