Field emission from carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is a complex process involving a range of physical effects and phenomena. In this paper, we systematically develop a multiphysics model to describe this process. We integrate the model numerically to estimate the output current from a CNT based field emission device. Numerical simulations have been able to capture the transients in current as observed in actual experiments. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
