Electron emission from ferroelectrics
TL;DR: The electron emission from ferroelectrics (FEE) is an unconventional electron emission effect as discussed by the authors, which is a tunneling emission current which screens uncompensated polarization charges, generated by a deviation of macroscopic spontaneous polarization from its equilibrium state under pyroelectric effect, piezoelectric effect, or polarization switching.
