Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Physics

Background:

  • Carbon nanofibres (CNs) are promising for electron emission applications.
  • Predictable electron emission is crucial for devices like microwave amplifiers and electron microscopy.
  • Fabrication of uniform CN arrays is essential for reliable performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between CN array geometry and electron emission characteristics.
  • To empirically measure field enhancement factors of individual CNs.
  • To validate electrostatic simulations of field enhancement in CN arrays.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of highly uniform CN arrays using plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition.
  • Probing individual emission characteristics and field enhancement factors with scanning anode field emission mapping.
  • Conducting electrostatic simulations to model field enhancement.

Main Results:

  • Directly measured enhancement factors for individual CNs (pitch 10µm, length 5µm) were 242, matching simulations (240).
  • Empirical evidence shows reduced overall enhancement factor when CN pitch is less than half the emitter height.
  • Individual emitters exhibited narrow, Gaussian-like field enhancement distributions.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate design of CN field emitters with predictable characteristics is achievable.
  • Emitter spacing critically influences electron emission, aligning with simulation predictions.
  • Uniform CN arrays with controlled geometry enable reliable electron source applications.
