We report pyroelectric emission from PbZrxTi1−xO3 (PZT) thin films on nanometer-sharp tips. The epitaxial PZT films are 30 nm thick and grown directly on single-crystal silicon tips. Pyroelectric emission occurs for heating rates of ≥50 °C/min in a 20 V/μm external field. The emission current is a maximum of 240 nA when the heating rate is 100 °C/min and the electric field strength is ≥6.7 V/μm. The emitted charge is ∼7% of that expected for a perfect thin film emitter of epitaxial PbZrxTi1−xO3. We calculate that pyroelectric emission can occur without an applied field if the heating rate exceeds 4.0 × 107 °C/min.
