High quality DWNTs (double-walled carbon nanotubes) was produced by a catalytic CVD. The field emission was measured using parallel-plate geometry with a gap distance of 270 /spl sim/ 370 /spl mu/m under a 2 /spl times/ 10/sup -7 /Torr. The turn-on electric field of DWNTs was about 1.7 /spl sim/ 3.5 V//spl mu/m at /spl sim/ 1.0 /spl times/ 10/sup -7/ mA/cm/sup 2/ and the current density of DWNTs was about /spl sim/ 20mA/cm/sup 2/ at the applied electric field of /spl sim/ 8V//spl mu/m. The lifetime indicated good stability for 20 hours when constant DC voltage applied at high current density of /spl sim/ 1.0 /spl times/ 10/sup -3/ A/cm/sup 2/.

A new nanometer-sized tailored cathode is fabricated by hydrogen plasma etching of a graphite substrates. SEM was used to characterize the graphite surface before and after etching. Based on the correlation between the field emission characteristics and surface morphology, the nanometer-sized crater structures play an important role in the field emission behavior of the graphite nanocrater cathode (GRANC). The field emission characteristics of GRANC was compared with CNT and graphite nanofibers. Finally, the performance of GRANC as a cold cathode is demonstrated by obtaining high intensity pulse x-ray generation. The single shot x-ray radiography image of a rotating chopper are shown by using the x-ray pulses. This cold cathode is not only promising for pulse x-ray generation but also for the fabrication of sophisticated devices which require stable high current density operation.

In this paper, the characteristics of nanostructural field emission devices (FEDs) are determined based on a basic model that is a field emission triode cell which has more complicated structure compared with a diode. The basic elements of a field emission triode cell was characterized using the following parameters; conductor elements, dielectric elements, the boundary of a field emission triode cell, and an electron gas region or vacuum region. Physical processes was described by means of the fundamental equations of Maxwell, Fowler-Nordheim and hydrodynamical equations describing the behaviour of electron gas.

The paper is a suggested approach to the construction of vacuum triode type microdevices on field emitter (FE) matrix cathodes and anodes for flat cathode ray tube microdisplays based on alumina technology combined with nanocarbon diamondlike materials. Modeling of triode systems with FE from carbonlike thick films and separate controlling structures on 3D-AA substrates showed high efficiency.

We have shown that a sample of bio-species deposited onto the spot of the array of protruded metal gated silicon tips (DIOST) may be effectively ionized and evaporated by UV laser pulsed light illumination. This phenomenon has been never observed on flat surface of silicon dioxide or TiW-Au thin film layers the materials which were used in construction of the tips array. Nature of this process is not known; the most intriguing fact is the protonization as well as negative electron ionization of bio-samples. The new DIOST platform was used for TOF MS tests, and clearly readable, low-noised mass spectrograms of LGG and dopamine were observed.

Defect-free single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs) were prepared by chemical reaction from normal SWNTs, and field emission and dispersion properties of both were compared. The field emission currents of defect-removed SWNTs are measured as a function of the number of defects, i.e., reaction time with methyl acrylate. As the defects are removed from surface of nanotubes, the SWNTs become entangled and more separated between themselves, thus the separated SWNTs have the higher aspect-ratio than the pristine SWNTs. Consequently the SWNTs having the small number of defects show the higher field emission currents. It was also shown in the UV absorption spectra of the samples in ethanol in the field emission experiment, that the more defect-removed SWNTs are better dispersed in the solvent.

In this paper, the study of thermal CVD grown CNT field emitters in a triode amplifier configuration is reported. The DC characteristics of the CNT triode are investigated, including I/sub a/ vs. V/sub a/ for different V/sub g/. Moreover, DC parameters such as transconductance, amplification factor and anode resistance of the triode amplifier are determined. It was shown that a higher amplification factor can be achieved with optimum gate-anode-cathode spacing such that the cathode is effectively shielded from the anode by the gate but the anode still collects all electrons emitted from the cathode. High emission current at low gate voltage is key to achieving high transconductance. This can be obtained by optimum configuration of high-density CNTs array in a triode structure with a common gate.
本文报道了在三极管放大器结构下CVD生长的碳纳米管场发射体的研究。研究了碳纳米管三极管的直流特性,包括不同V/sub g/下的I/sub a/ vs. V/sub a/。此外,还确定了三极管放大器的跨导、放大系数和阳极电阻等直流参数。结果表明,优化栅极-阳极-阴极间距可以获得更高的放大系数,使得阴极被栅极有效地屏蔽,而阳极仍然收集阴极发射的所有电子。低栅极电压下的高发射电流是实现高跨导的关键。这可以通过在具有公共栅极的三极管结构中优化配置高密度碳纳米管阵列来实现。

We propose an alternative arc-prevention and emission regulation method that allows high current densities and enforces a narrow energy distribution. The method requires a structure incorporating a filter aperture over the usual gate aperture. The top aperture acts as a high-pass energy filter. When the filter is negative with respect to the gate, a potential energy barrier is created in the path of the emitted electrons. Also, the energy distribution often becomes narrower and shifts closer to E/sub F/ after operating the emitters in UHV. The energy shift shows that the potential drop in the emitter is reduced, suggesting that the dielectric surface layer has become more conductive and/or thinner.

Square-cm samples of bulk graphite, reticulated vitreous carbon, and paste graphite film have been evaluated for field-emission properties both before and after surface modification using a novel Ar-ion flood bombardment method. The Ar-ion treatment results in a change in surface morphology of the emission cathode which physically resembles results of emission treatments using lasers or other heat sources, as well as results obtained using current or voltage stress treatment methods. Emission properties become more uniform, exhibit less noise, and, in the best cases, match results seen from carbon nanotubes or ultra-nanocrystalline diamond cathodes. The results demonstrate a method for obtaining large total currents at optimal extraction voltages, from large-area, low-cost cathodes. This method is useful for applications, such as field-emission lamps and x-ray tubes, which do not require nanofabricated cathode structures.

An electron beam focusing was optimized to obtain high color purity in 38" high definition level carbon nanotube-field emission devices (CNT-FEDs). We could successfully adopted the focusing structure where each CNT dot is aligned to a gate and a focus gate hole, which results in electric field symmetry and makes it easy to focus electron beam. The structure also has a concave geometry. By varying the sizes of the focus gate hole, the optimum I-V conditions are obtained. The fine electron beam focusing even under wide e-beam divergence of CNTs could be achieved.
