Main Results:

  • A 66% decrease in turn-on electric field was achieved.
  • 25% improvement in DC time stability and reduced hysteresis.
  • Threefold increase in bandwidth during pulsed mode operation.
  • Demonstrated optical modulation capability through absorption cross-section manipulation.

Conclusions:

  • The zwitterionic polyelectrolyte adlayer significantly enhances VACNT field electron emission.
  • The enhancement is attributed to improved emitter micro-morphology and altered surface band structure.
  • The composite emitters offer tunable optical modulation and improved operational stability for advanced electronic devices.
