An improved planar-gate triode with CNTs field emitters by electrophoretic deposition

An improved planar-gate triode with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) field emitters has been successfully fabricated by conventional photolithography, screen printing and electrophoretic deposition (EPD). In this structure, cathode electrodes and ITO arrays linked with gate electrodes were interdigitated and paralleled on the same plane although the gate electrodes and cathode electrodes were isolated by dielectric layer, a so-called improved planar-gate triode structure. An electrophoretic process was developed to selectively deposit CNTs field emitters onto cathode electrodes in the CNTs suspension by an applied voltage between the gate electrodes and cathode electrodes. The optical microscopy and FESEM image showed that the CNTs emitters with the uniform packing density were selectively defined onto the cathode electrodes. In addition, field emission characteristics of an improved planar-gate triode with CNTs field emitters were investigated. The experiment results indicated that the turn-on voltage of this triode structure at current density of 1 μA/cm² was approximately 55 V. The anode current and gate current came to 396 μA and 325 μA, at gate voltage and anode voltage of 100 V and 4000 V, respectively and at the anode-cathode spacing of 2000 μm. The emission image became brighter and the luminous image with dot matrix on the anode plate obviously increased with the increase of the gate voltage. Moreover, the emission current fluctuation was smaller than 5% for 11 h, which indicated that the improved planar-gate triode has a good field emission performance and long lifetime.     

Behavior of prebreakdown emission centers with 200-kv 100-ns pulses applied to a vacuum gap

Using an electron-transparent anode (titanium foil), the behavior of prebreakdown emission centers on a cathode made of 12X18H10T stainless steel is studied for the case of vacuum gap excitation by 100-ns-wide voltage pulses with an amplitude of 200 kV. To raise the working electric field to 1 MV/cm or higher, the electrodes are preprocessed by a low-energy high-current electron beam in the surface melting mode. It is found that prebreakdown emission centers may be stable and unstable. The stable ones arise at an electric field strength of 0.4?C0.6 MV/cm, and their activity grows with voltage up to breakdown. As the electric field increases, new unstable emission centers occur at sites other than those observed at the previous voltage pulse. Reasons for the appearance of unstable emission centers are discussed.     

Intense emission from a grid-stabilized plasma cathode

Intense emission from a grid-stabilized plasma cathode based on a glow discharge with an expanded anode area is studied. In the electrode system of the ion source, the potential difference between a large-mesh grid electrode (a hole diameter of 4–6 mm) and cathode and anode plasma reaches 200 V and the glow discharge current is up to 1 A. The current distribution over the electrodes of the plasma cathode is taken, and the dependences of the electron extraction efficiency and electron-emitting-plasma potential on the gas pressure and discharge parameters are obtained. A relationship between the geometric parameters of the grid, cathode plasma potential, and efficiency of electron extraction from the plasma is derived. It is shown that stable intense emission from the plasma cathode can be provided in wide ranges of gas pressure and discharge current by varying the geometry and mesh size of the plasma cathode grid. Discharge contraction in the grid plane at elevated gas pressures is explained. It is assumed that the emitting plasma becomes inhomogeneous due to variation in the thickness of near-electrode layers in the holes of the grid, which makes the distribution of the emission current from the plasma more nonuniform.     

Energy-resolved analysis of ferroelectric electron emission from TGS using emission electron microscopy

Ferroelectric electron emission arises when the spontaneous polarization of a ferroelectric is switched due to the application of an electric field. In order to study the origin of emission and the related emission mechanism, space-resolved emission electron microscopy has been employed. The integral energy distribution of the emitted electrons from triglycine-sulfate surfaces has been investigated using a cylindrical sector analyzer and an imaging retarding field analyzer. Space-resolved emission photography and energy distribution measurements were obtained, revealing the effect of ferroelectric switching on the electric field distribution and hence on the emission process. Evidence of secondary electron emission from the metal electrodes has been found.
