Abstract

This paper discusses the similarities and differences between two studies that
deal with resin-coated field-emission cathodes. The two works that are compared within
this paper are entitled: Hot Electron Emission from Composite-Insulator Micropoint
Cathodes and Methods of Preparation and Characterization of Experimental FieldEmission Cathodes. Within the text, both studies are reviewed and put into context,
pointing out and commenting the advantageous features of this type of cathodes. The
comparison focuses mainly on the method of preparation including deposition of a thin film
on the cathode tip and the characterization of the coating itself. The effect of the coating on
the field emission is discussed as well.

Keywords: Cold field emission, Epoxylite 478, Epoxylite EPR-4.
