  Novel laser-powered acceleration structures currently under development, which have dimensions comparable to optical wavelengths and can be constructed on a silicon wafer, require injection of a sub-micron-scale electron bunch to achieve high-quality, monoenergetic output beams. A potential injection mechanism for such micro-scale beams relies on field emission from a nanotip array, followed by acceleration to near-relativistic energies. We demonstrate field emission of electrons from a lithium niobate crystal during heating and cooling, and describe the production of electrons within a hollow channel along the axis of a lithium niobate crystal. Measurements of emitted beam properties are compared with direct measurements of crystal fields under comparable conditions and modeled mathematically.
