For field electron emission (FE), an empirical equation for measured current I m as a function of measured voltage V m has the form I m = CV m k exp[-B/V m], where B is a constant and C and k are constants or vary weakly with V m. Values for k can be extracted (i) from simulations based on some specific FE theory, and in principle (ii) from current-voltage measurements of sufficiently high quality. This paper shows that a comparison of theoretically derived and experimentally derived k-values could provide a sensitive and useful tool
