Abstract

The problem of determining the coefficient of electron transmission through the potential barrier at the metal-vacuum interface is considered. The temperature dependence of the thermofield’s current density is studied using methods of mathematical modeling. The problem is reduced to the solution of a system of algebraic equations. It is shown that regularization of the solution of the problem is required. The results demonstrate that the coefficient of electron transmission can be determined in principle.
