Abstract:
This study is the carbon nanotube films(CNT)in the Preparation and Field Emission Effect.The carbon nanotubefilms were fabricated in 500℃ temperature by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition(MPCVD) method.The glass with a Ti mental layer was used as substrate.Before fabricating,the substrate was polling by the SiO
2 with Fe.The CNT films were evaluated by Raman scattering spectroscopy,scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and Transmission electron microscope(TEM).The field emission properties were tested by using a diode structure in a vacuum.A phosphor-coated indium tin oxide(ITO) anode was used for observing and characterizing the field emission.It was found that CNT films exhibited good electron emission properties.The turn-on field was only 1.1V/μm and the emission current density as high as 9.0mA/cm
2 was obtained under an applied field of 3.0V/μm for the last operation.The growth mechanism and field emission properties of the CNT films are discussed relating to microstructure and electrical conductivity.
