Abstract
This paper is a review of recent developments in the theory of electron emission from metals. The main subjects discussed are the periodic deviations in the Schottky effect and the transition between thermionic and field emission. The indications are that each of these phenomena can be understood in terms of the free electron model for the metal and the transmission of the electrons through the image force barrier at the metal surface.Keywords
