In this paper using Equivalent Electrode Method (EEM) Atmospheric Electric Field (AEF) distribution in the vicinity of the cargo vehicle is approximately numerically determined, when the vehicles are situated on petrol station near by petrol pump and people. The petrol pump is always grounded, but human body and vehicle are treated as grounded or 'floating' electrodes. Several results of electric field enhancement factor for the vehicle including maps of equienergetic curves are presented.

We have calculated the electric field enhancement factor for a metallic cylinder with a hemispherical end-cap in a plane capacitor geometry paying particular attention to the dependence of the field enhancement factor on the anode distance. In addition, we have investigated the angular dependence of the local field at the end-cap. The numerical results, which cover a range of different ratios of cylinder lengths and anode distances, can be fitted with simple functional expressions which provide a useful scaling for calculations of field emission currents from closed cap carbon nanotubes or nanowires.

AbstractIn this paper, the surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) characteristics of Au and Au@Al2O3 nanoparticle dimers were calculated and analyzed by using finite element method (3D-FEM). Firstly, the electric field enhancement factors of Au nanoparticles at the dimer gap were optimized from three aspects: the incident angle of the incident light, the radius of nanoparticle and the distance of the dimer. Then, aluminum oxide is wrapped on the Au dimer. What is different from the previous simulation is that Al2O3 shell and Au core are regarded as a whole and the total radius of Au@Al2O3 dimer is controlled to remain unchanged. By comparing the distance of Au nucleus between Au and Au@Al2O3 dimer, it is found that the electric field enhancement factor of Au@Al2O3 dimer is much greater than that of Au dimer with the increase of Al2O3 thickness. The peak of electric field of Au@Al2O3 dimer moves towards the middle of the resonance peak of the two materials, and it is more concentrated than that of the Au dimer. The maximum electric field enhancement factor 583 is reached at the shell thickness of 1 nm. Our results provide a theoretical reference for the design of SERS substrate and the extension of the research scope.

Surface roughness represents the measure of the irregularities on the surface contributing to the local field enhancement. The traditional Fowler-Nordheim equation established for perfectly planar surfaces is not suitable for describing emission from rough surfaces. Instead, it is more appropriate to use the equation that accounts for the field enhancement factor describing the effect of the surface morphology. In superconducting radio frequency cavities field emission may occur in the irises and the tips on the cavity surface may act as an emitter leading to the high electric field. For this study, calculations for hemispherical, cylindrical, and conical tips have been performed by using a multiphysics software package COMSOL. The focus was put on the dependence of the field enhancement factor on the shape and the radius of the protrusions. The electric field strength and the current density increase with increasing the root mean square average of the profile heights due to field enhancement at the cavity irises. The lowest value of the electric field has been achieved for the hemisphere. The calculated values for the field enhancement factors are consistent with the data from the literature, in which case the protrusion may represent a small local bump on the surface of a superconducting cavity. Based on the fit of the results, presented here, the relation between the enhancement factor and the radius has been suggested. The accurate estimation of the field emission may play a crucial role in the design of accelerators and other technological applications with requirements of very high precision.

Using atomic force microscopy (AFM), we experimentally examined the features of field-electron emission from a single point-type silicon cathode into a quasi-vacuum (air) medium. In the non-contact AFM operating mode, the current – voltage characteristics (CVCs) of a single cathode with a nanometer radius of curvature of the tip were measured at distances of 10 nm and 20 nm between the cathode tip and the top of the measuring probe. The electric field distribution was simulated both on the surface of the tip of a single cathode and on the surface of the tips of individual cathodes within the array, based on which a theoretical estimate of the field enhancement factor as a function of the cathode-probe distance was made. The field-enhancement factor calculated from the experimental CVCs in the Fowler-Nordheim coordinates is several orders of magnitude higher than its value obtained from theoretical calculations. Such a mismatch between the experimental data and the simulation results indicates the need to take into account additional quantum-size effects, which play an important role in the formation of the field-electron emission current in the nanoscale gap. In particular, deformation of the silicon emitter tip can occur at this scale due to the penetration of a strong electric field into its surface region, which, in turn, causes the distortion of the potential barrier at the interface with the quasi-vacuum medium.
