Editing Field electron emission (section)

=== Internal electron transfer in electronic devices ===
In some electronic devices, electron transfer from one material to another, or (in the case of sloping bands) from one band to another ("[[Zener diode|Zener tunneling]]"), takes place by a field-induced tunneling process that can be regarded as a form of Fowler–Nordheim tunneling. For example, [[Emlyn Rhoderick|Rhoderick's]] book discusses the theory relevant to [[metal–semiconductor junction|metal–semiconductor contacts]].<ref>{{cite book |last1= Rhoderick|first1= E.
