Abstract: | The aim of this paper is to construct solutions of the Dirichlet problem for the 3D Laplace equation in a layer with highly
oscillating boundary. The boundary simulates the surface of a nanotube array, and the solutions are applied to compute the
cold field electron emission. We suggest a family of exact solutions that solve the problem for a boundary with appropriate
geometry. These solutions, along with the Fowler-Nordheim formula, allow one to present explicit asymptotic formulas for the
electric field and the emission current. In this part of the paper, we consider the main mathematical aspects, restricting
ourselves to the analysis of properties of the potential created by a single tube and a regular array of tubes. In the next
part, we shall consider some cases corresponding to nonregular arrays of tubes and concrete physical examples. |
