  • Publication number: 20100052511
    Abstract: The invention relates to a field emission device comprising a cathode having an emission region (1) for electrons (2). The field emission device is embodied for generating technically useful electron currents at a voltage which is as low as possible, in such a way that the emission region (1) has an arrangement of a plurality of individually positioned or positionable atoms (4) or molecules.
