Integral field emission measurements of such samples after Pd coating (~10 nm) were performed in a diode configuration with a 50 μm mica spacer in a vacuum chamber at pressures of about 10 -9 mbar. The IV measurement of the sample shows an integral emission current up to 2 μA at a voltage of 500 V (10 MV/m) and an onset voltage for a current of 1 nA of about 275 V. The corresponding Fowler-Nordheim plot show a linear behavior, like expected for a metal needle.
