Ageing effect on the field emission reproducibility of multiwalled carbon nanotubes

Abstract: The ageing effect on the field emission (FE) reproducibility of multiwalleded carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) synthesised by plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition was investigated by scanning electron microscopy. To investigate the ageing effect on the physical state of the MWCNTs, a scanning electron microscope (SEM), a Raman spectrometer, an X-ray photoelectron spectroscope and an X-ray diffractometer were used to characterise the MWCNTs comprehensively before and after the ageing. Through ageing, the FE repr… Show more

“…117 The influence of ageing on the field emission (FE) reproducibility of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) developed through plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition as reported by Zou et al The FE repeatability improved with ageing due to the increased number and better equally distributed shorter MWCNTs in order to become dominant emitters, which will ultimately result in an improvement in FE repeatability. 118 C. Cantalini et al conducted an investigation and developed carbon nanotubes (CNTs) thin films produced by plasma accelerated chemical vapor deposition on silicon/silicon nitride (Si/Si 3 N 4 ) substrates supplied with platinum interdigital electrodes have been explored as resistive gas sensors for nitrogen Functionalized CNTs deposited at a reduced level in liver, kidney, and lung. When compared to the intervention with pristine CNTs, the conjugated treatment resulted in a larger proportion of arthritis suppression.…”

“…As the aging time continues, at high currents, only a small amount of the CNT emitter from the non-uniform structure takes up the majority of the emission current, whereas surplus emission current incurs the destruction of these CNTs, which makes the current unstable. In addition, relatively weak CNT emitters are removed by resistive heating during electrical aging at high currents [10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20]. Thus, the aging allowed a relatively larger number, and more evenly distributed shorter multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to become dominating emitters resulting in improving the field emission (FE) reproducibility [21,22].…”

“…[1] Large current density, high aspect ratio, sharp tip, high melting point, chemical inertness and vacuum compatibility make the CNTs a tremendous material for field emitters. [2][3][4][5][6] With these amazing and excellent properties, the CNTs have potential applications in many nanoscale-based field emission devices such as screen display, X-rays, cathode ray oscilloscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and electron beam evaporators. [7][8][9][10][11] The CNTs based vacuum microelectronic and display devices have already been proposed.…”
