摘要
Controversy exists about the electron energy distribution from a very sharp tungsten field emitter that ends in a single atom. It has been proposed that observation of a double-peaked energy distribution proves that field emission is taking place through a single atom on the top of a so-called teton tip. It is suggested here that this observation is not conclusive, because the present author has observed similar distributions when performing field electron energy analysis on gallium phosphide emitters that were not specially sharpened.
