The method combines the Discontinuous Galerkin Time Domain (DGTD) method for solving the optical field profile, the Particle-In-Cell (PIC) method for capturing the electron dynamics and the Finite Element Method (FEM) for solving the static field distribution. The charge distribution is introduced to the time-domain method based on a modified Fowler-Nordheim field emission model, which accounts for the band-bending of the charge carriers at the emitter surface. This algorithm is capable of considering various effects in the emission process such as space-charge, Coulomb blockade and image charge. Simulation results are compared with experimental findings for optically driven electron emission from nanosharp Si-tips.
