Abstract
A systematic transport study of the ballistic electron emission micros copy (BEEM) of Au/Si(100) and Au/Si(lll) Schottky barriers for differe nt thicknesses of the metal layer and different temperatures is presen ted. It is shown that the existing experimental data are compatible wi th a recently predicted band structure-induced non-forward electron pr opagation through the Au(lll) layer.
