Field emission microscopy of adsorption and desorption of residual gas molecules on a carbon nanotube tip 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Field emission of electrons from multiwall carbon nanotubes has been investigated by field emission microscopy (FEM) in ultra-high vacuum. A carbon nanotube, at the end of which at least six pentagons exist to make a closed cap, gives an FEM pattern consisting of bright pentagonal rings if the nanotube surface is clean. Adsorption of residual gas molecules is observed as bright spots in the FEM pattern, giving rise to an abrupt increase in the emission current. Adsorbed molecules seem to reside preferentially on the pentagonal sites where the strong electric field is concentrated. A heat cleaning of the emitter at about 1300 K allows the molecules to desorb, and the nanotube emitter recovers its original clean surface. It has been revealed that the adsorption and desorption of gas molecules are responsible for stepwise fluctuation of the emission current. 相似文献

碳纳米管场致发射中的空间电荷效应 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
采用微波等离子体化学气相沉积(MWPCVD)方法成功制备以碳纳米管束为单元的场致发射阵列,获得很好的场致发射电流发射特性,在电流密度较大时,发现I-V特性偏离由Fowler-Nordheim公式计算出的结果。采用Electron Beam Simulation(EBS)软件进行模拟分析发现:在电流密度较低时,I-V特性能很好与F-N公式吻合。但碳纳米管尖端电流密度大于106A/cm2时,碳纳米管尖端处的有效电场强度受空间电荷的影响比较明显,进而对碳纳米管的场致发射特性显现出不可忽略的影响,此时碳纳米管的发射电流密度开始受到空间电荷的限制。 相似文献

The mechanism that limits the emission current of a carbon-nanotube-based cathode due to the temperature dependence of the emissivity of the nanotube is studied. This limitation has the character of thermal instability that shows up as an infinite increase in the emitter temperature after a certain emission current is exceeded. The heat conduction equation is solved for a nanotube at various model temperature dependences of the thermal and electrical conductivities of the nanotube in order to derive the limiting emission current as a function of the electrical conductivity of the nanotube. 相似文献

A variable height model has been implemented in order to improve the emission performance from a nanotube bundle. A Gaussian distribution of nanotube heights has been considered. This resulted in a nearly uniform electric field distribution across all the nanotubes and consequently an enhanced emission current in comparison to a nanotube bundle with all the nanotubes having the same height. Simulation results from linear as well as area nanotube bundles are reported. The analysis helped in providing a better understanding of the previously reported experimental results on enhanced field emission from plasma treated nanotube bundles having CNTs of variable heights. 相似文献

It has been shown that the deposition of cesium atoms on multi-wall carbon nanotubes abruptly increases the current of the field electron emission, decreases the threshold electric field by a factor of three (to 0.8 V/m), and decreases the work function to 2.1–2.3 eV. It has been found that the flowing of the large emission current I ≥ 2 × 10?6 A leads to a change in the current-voltage characteristics and a decrease in the emission current. This effect has been explained by escape of cesium atoms from the tips of most nanotubes into the nanotube depth due to desorption or intercalation. At the same time, the low work function is retained for some nanotubes, probably, due to the stronger bonding of Cs atoms with these nanotubes. 相似文献

The occurrence of vibrations in a single carbon nanotubes placed in an electromagnetic field through which constant field-emission current passes has been analyzed. It has been shown experimentally that the emission current, along with the constant component, has a variable one that resonates at a certain frequency. Calculations show a relationship between the resonance frequency and the parameters of the whole system and nanotube itself. The conditions under which resonance may occur in the terahertz range of vibration frequencies have been analyzed. 相似文献

Electron holography performed in situ inside a high resolution transmission electron microscope has been used to determine the magnitude and spatial distribution of the electric field surrounding individual field-emitting carbon nanotubes. The electric field (and hence the associated field emission current) is concentrated precisely at the tips of the nanotubes and not at other nanotube defects such as sidewall imperfections. The electric field magnitude and distribution are stable in time, even in cases where the nanotube field emission current exhibits extensive temporal fluctuations. 相似文献

Effect of temperature and aspect ratio on the field emission properties of vertically aligned carbon nanofiber and multiwalled carbon nanotube thin films were studied in detail. Carbon nanofibers and multiwalled carbon nanotube have been synthesized on Si substrates via direct current plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition technique. Surface morphologies of the films have been studied by a scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope and an atomic force microscope. It is found that the threshold field and the emission current density are dependent on the ambient temperature as well as on the aspect ratio of the carbon nanostructure. The threshold field for carbon nanofibers was found to decrease from 5.1 to 2.6 V/μm when the temperature was raised from 300 to 650 K, whereas for MWCNTs it was found to decrease from 4.0 to 1.4 V/μm. This dependence was due to the change in work function of the nanofibers and nanotubes with temperature. The field enhancement factor, current density and the dependence of the effective work function with temperature and with aspect ratio were calculated and we have tried to explain the emission mechanism. 相似文献

A procedure for optimizing a field-emission cathode based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is developed. An array of identical equidistant
vertical CNTs is considered. The optimization procedure takes into account the effect of screening of an electric field by
neighboring nanotubes by solving a Laplace equation and the thermal instability of nanotubes, which limits the emission current
density of a nanotube, by solving a heat conduction equation. The relation between the emission current and the applied voltage
is described by the Fowler-Nordheim relationship containing the CNT tip temperature as a parameter. Upon optimization, the
optimum distance between CNTs that ensures the maximum emission current density is calculated. The calculation results demonstrate
that this parameter depends substantially on both the applied voltage and the nanotube geometry. These dependences are weakly
sensitive to the choice of the transport coefficients (thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity) of nanotubes. 相似文献

Field emission from single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) nonwoven has been
investigated under high vacuum with different vacuum gaps. A low turn-on
electric field of 1.05\,V/$\mu $m is required to reach an emission current
density of 10 $\mu $A/cm$^{2}$. An emission current density of 10
mA/cm$^{2}$ is obtained at an operating electric field of 1.88\,V/$\mu $m. No
current saturation is found even at an emission current of 5\,mA. With the
vacuum gap increasing from 1 to 10 mm, the turn-on field decreases
monotonically from 1.21 to 0.68\,V/$\mu $m, while the field amplification is
augmented. The good field-emission behaviour is ascribed to the combined
effects of the intrinsic field emission of SWNT and the waved topography of
the nonwoven. 相似文献

It has been found that deposition g of cesium atoms on single-walled carbon nanotubes covered with potassium atoms not only
drastically increases emission current but also considerably changes the shape of current-voltage characteristics of field
electron emission, namely, the characteristics become nonlinear in Fowler-Nordheim coordinates. It has been assumed that this
effect is associated with the fact that field electron emission in these layers comes from single-walled carbon nanotubes,
which have p-type conductivity after potassium treatment, while deposition of cesium leads to the formation of p-n junctions near nanotube tips. Part of the applied voltage drops in p-n junction, thus causing a nonlinearity of current-voltage characteristics. 相似文献

It is demonstrated that the anisotropic transfer of photon momentum to an electronic subsystem results in induction of a photon-drag EMF in a standing electromagnetic wave along the axis of a nanotube with a spiral defect, which confirms the assumption found in the literature that the occurrence of such an effect in the presence of an external magnetic field is possible not only in 2-D systems but also in nanotubes with a spiral symmetry. One of the potential mechanisms of inducing the EMF connected with the spatial asymmetry of the electron-phonon interaction in a nanotube with a spiral defect is considered. This mechanism allows for such an EMF to occur upon heating the electron system by the Joule heat of the photon-drag current that flows through the nanotube. 相似文献

We report a physical mechanism responsible for initiating a vacuum breakdown process of a single carbon nanotube (CNT) during field emission. A quasidynamic method has been developed to simulate the breakdown process and calculate the critical field, critical emission current density and critical temperature beyond which thermal runaway occurs before the CNT temperature reaches its melting point. This model is in good agreement with experiments carried out with a single CNT on a silicon microtip. 相似文献
