voltage scaling

This conference presentation comments on the recent report of nearly-exact voltage scaling, in field electron emission measurements made when a single-tip emitter faces an extended planar surface. An alternative, "intuitive", explanation is offered for this effect, and supplements the more quantitative explanations presented in the literature.
