Abstract
The current-voltage characteristics of organic compounds at a tip platinum emitter have been studied in 0.2-1.0 V/Å fields. It is shown that the parameter (V-ϕ) does not affect the formation of the desorption ion barrier in the field ionization of atoms and molecules under a high potential gradient providing electron tunneling to the Fermi level of the emitter material and, therefore, the probability of the ion desorption cannot explicitly depend on this parameter.
