Abstract
⺠This work explains how a very strong electric field can be produced due to the dielectric in the vicinity of metal-dielectric contact. ⺠This work deals with configurations which enhance electric fields using the dielectric effect. The configuration is a type of junction at which metal, vacuum and dielectric meet. ⺠This work suggests the criterion to determine whether field enhancement occurs or not in the triple junction of metal, vacuum and dielectric. ⺠This work suggests that a quadruple junction is more effective in enhancing the electric field than a triple junction. The quadruple junction is formed by an additional vacuum portion to the triple junction. ⺠This work suggests that a triple junction can be a breakthrough candidate for a cold electron source.
