Abstract

Here we investigated the field emission effect in nanoconstrictions made on the basis of the microwire in glass insulation. Glass-coated single-crystal microwires of Bi and Bi-Sb were fabricated by the Ulitovsky method; then, using the technique of local laser heating, nanoconstrictions were made. We investigated the field electron emission obtained in Bi and Bi_0.97Sb_0.03 nanoconstrictions at various temperatures and different potentials on the gate electrode. We observed a change in the field emitted electron current depending on the potential on the gate electrode. This difference ΔI/I=0.26 is a manifestation of the change in the microwire tip potential due to the electric field effect.
