Field Emission Properies of CNTs Treated by Helium Plasma

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presented a novel post-treatment method of He plasma,which could effectively improve the field emission characteristics of screen-printed CNTs cathodes. Notable changes in the surface morphologies of screen-printed CNTs cathodes were investigated by scanning electron micro scope (SEM) as the f unction of treatment by He plasma.The results showed the post-treated CNTs cathodes hold lower turn-on electric field,higher field emission current density,more emission sites,and better uniformity than those of untreated ones.
