Two modes of electron emission have been observed from the ferroelectric ceramic PLZT when subjected to a high voltage bipolar pulse. One mode is always associated with bright visible plasma on the emitting surface, while the other occurs with no visible emission. Emitted current wave forms are consistent with two distinct mechanisms for emission: surface plasma in the first case and polarization switching in the second.
