14. This value was chosen to obtain high signal levels. The energy resolution is limited by the field emission process to values of order 0.2 eV; see J. W. Gadzuk and E. W. Plummer, Rev. Mod. Phys. 45, 487 (1973).

18. Note also the possibility that electrons may "skip" along the surface under the influence of the field.
