Improved field emission characteristic of carbon nanotubes by an Ag micro-particle intermediation layer

An efficient way to improve field emission characteristic of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) through an Ag micro-particle intermediation layer is presented. In this way, the intermediation layer is deposited on an indium tin oxide glass substrate by electrochemical method and then the CNTs are covered onto surface of the intermediation layer by electrophoretic method as CNT field emitters. The field emission characteristic of the CNT field emitters with the intermediation layer is significantly improved compared to the one without the intermediation layer, including decreased turn-on electric field from 4.2 to 3.1 V/μm and increased emission current density from 0.224 to 0.912 mA/cm² at an applied electric field of 6 V/μm. The improved field emission characteristic may be attributed to gibbous surface of the CNT field emitters. This efficient way is much simple, low cost, and suitable for production of large scale CNTs–based field emission cold cathode.

Field emission of vertically-aligned carbon nanotube arrays grown on porous silicon substrate

Vertically aligned arrays of multi-walled carbon nanotubes were grown by pyrolysis of acetylene on iron catalytic particles within a porous silicon template via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) at 700 °C. Using this method ordered nanotubes with diameters from 75 to 100 nm could be produced. The diode configuration field emission of the CNT arrays were performed and the onset electric field is 4 V/μm and the emission current can approach 1 mA/cm² at a electric field of 9.5 V/μm. The enhancement factor of the CNT arrays (4012) is derived from the F–N plot of the experiment data. To demonstrate the uniformity of the field emission, an ITO glass substrate with phosphor coated is used as anode in the field emission experiment. The average fluctuation of the emission current density was less than 5%. The result shows that the field emission of the CNT arrays on the silicon substrate is very uniform. These carbon nanotube arrays are useful for applications in field emission displays and sensors. The fabrication method shows the feasibility of integration between carbon nanotube arrays and silicon microelectronics.

Enhanced field emission and hysteresis characteristics of aligned carbon nanotubes with Ti decoration

The field emission behavior of aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is remarkably improved by decorating their surfaces with Ti nanoparticles through a sputtering process. The CNT/Ti(4 nm) sample shows a low turn-on field of 0.63 V/μm at 10 μA/cm², low threshold field of 1.06 V/μm at 1 mA/cm², and maximum field emission current density of 23 mA/cm² at 1.80 V/μm. The enhanced field emission properties of the CNT/Ti samples are attributed to the added defect sites and Ti nanoparticles, which increase the field enhancement factor and density of emission sites. Stability measurements indicate that the Ti coating, which acts as a protective layer, also strengthens the field emission stability of the CNT arrays. Moreover, the extent of hysteresis in the current–voltage sweep highly depends on the voltage-sweep speed.

Excellent Field‐Emission Performances of Neodymium Hexaboride (NdB6) Nanoneedles with Ultra‐Low Work Functions

High‐quality NdB₆ nanostructures with a low work function are successfully synthesized via an one‐step catalyst‐free chemical vapor deposition process. Field emission properties of these nanostructures (curve nanowires, short‐straight nanorods, long‐straight nanowires, and nanoneedles) are systematically investigated and found to be strongly affected by the tip morphologies and temperatures. The nanoneedles with sharp tips demonstrate the lowest turn‐on (2.71 V/μm) and threshold (3.60 V/μm) electric fields, as well as a high current density (5.37 mA/cm²) at a field of 4.32 V/μm in comparision with other nanostructures. Furthermore, with an increase in temperature from room temperature to 623 K, the turn‐on field of the nanoneedles decreases from 2.71 to 1.76 V/μm, and the threshold field decreases from 3.60 to 2.57 V/μm. Such excellent performances make NdB₆ nanomaterials promising candidates for application in flat panel displays and nanoelectronics building blocks.
