Abstract
In monodomain single crystals LiNbO3:Fe during the pyroeffect the phenomenon of unipolar exoelectron emission with the energy of about 1 keV is observed within the temperature range of −50 to +170 °C. It is proposed that the mechanism of electron emission is based on the Malter effect. The identical physical grounds for existence of the temperature top limit (T = 170 °C) for observed electron emission and for the well‐known optical damage effect is stated. The calculation f the Debye screening length and of the pyroelectric field E is based on experimental results.
