The emission current as a function of applied voltage, dielectric layer thickness, polarizability, and temperature was computed. Various experimentally detected trends were thereby modeled, leading to the conclusion that incoherent tunneling might be a competitive mechanism for electron field emission from dielectric layers on the tips of nanometer-sized cathodes., application/pdf}, pages = {1692--1699}, title = {Sequential tunneling model of field emission through dielectric deposits on nanotips}, volume = {21}, year = {2003} }
