In this paper, the electron-molecule collision ionization is added to field emission under non-vacuum conditions, and the change of emission current caused by vacuum adjustment in field emission of carbon nanotubes is explained. The field emission current density equation under non-vacuum conditions is established. Through the theoretical analysis and the processing of experimental data, it can be concluded that when other variables are controlled unchanged, the change of pressure will affect the concentration of gas molecules in the air and the collision probability with electrons, then the density of emission current is changed. The study has a certain reference value for the application of field emission in low vacuum and atmospheric pressure.

Abstract To estimate the field-emission current density of a Ge/Si heterosystem, 20-nm germanium/silicon (100) samples were grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The surface of one sample was covered with a layer of antimony, which was removed in vacuum prior to the samples being measured. A second sample of Ge/Si was exposed to room air in the absence of antimony. The current–voltage characteristics of both samples obtained by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) were discovered to be in agreement with classical Fowler–Nordheim theory. The density of emission current from Ge nanocrystal exceeds the density of emission current from the wetting layer of Ge/Si. The density of emission current of pure Ge nanocrystal is less than the density of emission current of Ge nanocrystal with adsorption layers.
