Thin-film electron emitters are described, which operate below 200°K and below a limiting critical applied voltage (νc) in a stable temperature-independent regime. Current-voltage characteristics and normal electron energy distributions are presented. Fabrication and operation criteria are outlined. Comparison with temperature-dependent emitters is made, and possible conduction mechanisms discussed briefly.
