Carbon nanotube (CNT) field emission (FE) has numerous potential applications including field emission displays, field electron microscopes, x-ray sources, and multiple electron beam lithography. We have developed fabrication and CNT growth processes to produce FE devices that yield stable performance at high current density. We have demonstrated stable performance for average current densities up to 0.8 A cm-2 during total charge extraction of 100 C, equivalent to 2.5 x 10 6 mAs cm-2 •
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
