Ionisation distributions of field-ionised ions from liquid metal ion sources are calculated. Various shapes for the emitter region, a range of currents and a range of electric field strengths at the liquid surface are considered. Their effects on the energy deficit distribution of the ions is presented through a numerical calculation for gold and gallium.
