Abstract: | The field-emission characteristics of carbon nanoclusters (graphenes, nanotubes, their compositions with microdiamonds) produced
by the cold destruction of natural graphite are studied. The structure of a coating of carbon nanoclusters on a tungsten cathode
is examined by field emission microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and electron diffraction. The high-intensity stable
field emission of these clusters is shown to be characterized by a low field threshold. The mechanism of the low-threshold
emission from carbon nanoclusters is discussed. |
