Abstract
In its original form the model of ''dynamic field emission'' (DF-emiss ion) describes the cathode spot of a vacuum arc as a system in dynamic equilibrium by means of several closed feedback loops, but it even ha s been extended to cover also the initial phase of cathode induced vac uum breakdown. The model now is applied to analyze the thermal stabili ty of field emission sites, which are used for single technical emitte rs as well as for field emitter arrays in vacuum microelectronics.
