Principle of the method In the Field Ion Microscope (FIM) gas ions are formed by field ionisation in the high electric field applied to the fine needle shaped specimen tip. The gas ions are accelerated in the strong inhomogeneous field and are forming an enlarged direct projection of the surface on the screen. If the specimen tip is kept on very low temperatures the imaging gas ions are keeping almost on the field trajectories and atomic resolution can be obtained. www.if.tugraz.at/Surface/images/fimschem.jpg

Motorola's prototype flat panel display based on the Fowler-Nordheim field emission principle. The display is 14 cm in diagonal and 3.5 mm thick with a viewing angle of 160�. Each pixel (325 micron) in size uses field emission of electrons from microscopic sharp point sources (icebergs). Emitted electrons impinge on colored phosphors on a screen and cause light emission by cathodoluminescence. There are millions of these microscopic field emitters to constitute the image.
