Popis: In a high external electric field, a strong band bending confines the electron to a surface region. In the range of field (1-10 GV/m) most of the electrons close to the surface remain at the ground level E/sub o/. The emitted current is numerically computed. The results show that the current saturation arises at higher fields. Matrix element that describes the photoexcitation of electrons is presented and photocurrent is calculated.
