A generalized analytical method to determine the density of energy states of electron emission source (EES) is devised by using a thermal excitation and emission model for an exoelectron in the MgO layer and the emission time constants of the exoelectron extracted from experimental stochastic distributions of discharge delay time. When applied to Si-doped MgO, the emission time constant of the exoelectron from the Si EES becomes shorter at high temperature and at short time intervals due to thermal excitation. The density of energy states of the Si EES DSi(E) shows the main peak at 736 meV, a satellite peak at 601 meV, and broad energy structures over the range of 586–896 meV. The effective number of Si EES is 5.5 times larger than that in purified MgO. The excitation energy in a Si-doped MgO cluster with a crystal structure is obtained to be 0.83 eV by using the symmetry-adapted-cluster configuration interaction method and the Si EES contributes to exoelectron emission. The thermal excitation is governed...
