Abstract
In an attempt to understand the instabilities that develop on an ion-emitting molten metal anode, we study current oscillograms and emission frequency spectra, as a function of emission current and emitter temperature. It is concluded that increasing the temperature affects adversely the stability of the emitter, thus enhancing the emission of droplets. However, a droplet emission mode, as well as an understanding thereof, is useful for deposition purposes.
