Abstract: Large-scaled highly oriented carbon nanotube films on Si substrate with Ni as a catalyst were synthesized by hot-filament-enhanced CVD and field-emission properties of the films were studied. It has been discovered that there is a knee-point Es on Fowler-Nordheim curves of the nanotube films, the slope of F-N curve in the low field region is much higher than that in the high field region. The field-enhancement factor β is proportional to the distance d between the anode and the cathode, and Es is an inverse measure of the distance d. Both of them can be phenomenally interpreted by the two-region field-emission model. The possible mechanisms for the saturation of emitter current on high field region have been discussed.

摘要: 利用热丝增强化学气相沉积法,在镀Ni的Si基片上成功地生长大面积取向碳纳米管膜,并研究了其场发射性质。研究表明,碳纳米管膜的场发射Fowler-Nordheim曲线上存在一转折点Es(“饱和”场强),低场区域(EEs)的F-N曲线斜率明显高于高场(EEs)区域。实验证实,低场区域的场放大系数β与极间距d 成正比,Es与极间距d 成反比,它们可用双区域场模型唯像地解释。讨论了高场区域场发射电流“饱和”(变化趋缓)的可能机制。
