Electron field emission is a complicated phenomenon which is sensitive not only to the particular material under illumination but also to the specific crystalline orientation of the surface. Summarizing the ability for a crystal to emit in a particular direction would be of great use when searching for good field emitters. In this paper we propose a material normal energy distribution which describes the ability of the bound electrons to tunnel under an intense electric field. This framework breaks a computationally expensive 3-D system down to a source distribution representation applicable for more efficient 1-D models. We use the Fowler-Nordheim framework to study the yield and MTE (mean transverse energy) from sources including gold, copper, and tungsten in both monocrystalline and polycrystalline forms. We find an increase in effective work function for field emission in the (111) direction for gold and copper associated with the Bragg plane intersections of the Fermi surface.

Laser-induced field emission from nanostructures as a means to create high brightness electron beams has been a continually growing topic of study. Experiments using nanoblade emitters have achieved peak fields upwards of 40 GV/m, begging further investigation in this extreme regime. A recent paper has provided analytical reductions of the common semi-infinite Jellium system for pulsed incident lasers. We utilize these results as well as similar previous results to further understand the physics underlying electron rescattering-type emissions. We progress in numerically evaluating the analytical solution to attempt to more efficiently generate spectra for this system. Additionally, we use the full 1-D time-dependent Schrödinger equation with a Hartree potential and a dispersion-relation transition from material to vacuum to study the same system. We determine what importance the inclusion of the material band structure may have on emissions using this computationally challenging approach.
