Abstract:
The paper presents description and phenomenology of a new type of the charged particle emission from electrodes due to the electromagnetic field penetration inside the emitter surface layer and formation there of the excess density of charged particles (volume charge). Such type of emission is termed injection emission (IE). Based on the IE mechanism, the generation of the abnormally high-energy electrons in a high-voltage discharge is explained.
