“…Non-stoichiometric and doped films of oxides of cadmium, tin, zinc, indium, and their various alloys, which are deposited by various techniques, show high transmittance in the visible optical range, high reflectance in the IR region, and very high conductivity. Based on these fantastic properties, some of the TCOs applications include transparent electrodes in solar cells [6], light emitting diodes [7], liquid crystal displays [8], heat mirrors [9], dye-synthesized solar cells [10], wave guide electron devices [11], thick-film sensors [12], organic light emitting diodes [13], flat panel displays [14] and so on. TCOs are generally manufactured as undoped and doped form of indium oxide (In 2 O 3 ), tin oxide (SnO 2 ), zinc oxide (ZnO) and cadmium oxide (CdO) which show high visible transmittance, high electrical conductivity, and high near IR reflectivity which is applicable in energy conserving [15].…”

Fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) thin films were deposited onto glass substrate at different substrate temperatures by a simple and inexpensive method of air pressure chemical vapor deposition. The substrate temperature was kept constant at about 500• C as the optimum temperature, and air was used as both a carrier gas and the oxidizing agent. A very simple method of characterization were carried on to investigate the electrical and structural properties of the prepared thin films. The electrical parameters variations showed that these parameters vary with substrate temperature ranging from an insulator thin film to a highly conductive layer. X-ray diffraction also revealed the structure to be polycrystalline at higher temperatures compared to amorphous structure for lower temperatures.

“…Silver paste can be used as the binder, as is often reported, 8 but silver particles are large 1 µm and thus affect the field emission of CNTs. We used glass frits with a low fusion point as the binder and made the CNT coating on Si substrate, which shows good field emission performance.…”

A carbon nanotube (CNT) cathode for field emission display was fabricated by coating on Si substrate. The CNTs were obtained from catalytic decomposition of hydrocarbon. A paste mixture for coating was prepared by mixing CNTs, glass frits and organic binder. The paste mixture of well-dispersed CNTs was coated on Si substrate and subsequently heat treated to fix the CNTs on the substrate and remove the organic binder. With this method we obtained a uniform, flat, thick, conductive CNT film that adhered tightly to the Si substrate. Measurements carried out using a diode structure reveal that the electron field emission of the CNT coating can be turned on with a field as low as 1.0-1.25 V µm −1 , and an emission current density of 50 µA cm −2 at 5 V µm −1 can be attained. On increasing the proportion of glass frits, a gradual decrease in emission current is observed. When the sintering time is prolonged, the field emission of the thick CNT film is reduced.

“…A large number of the studies have primarily focused on current-voltage characteristics, while others have also investigated the emission spots using field-emission microscopy (Figures 4(b) and 4(c)) [87,88]. Numerous applications [84] have been demonstrated using nanotube-based field-emitters including flat-panel displays [89][90][91][92], electron-beam systems [93][94][95], mass spectrometers [96], vacuum tubes [84], lighting devices [97], and X-ray imaging tools [98][99][100], to name but a few. On the theoretical side, studies based on continuum models [101,102] and atomistic simulations [103][104][105][106][107][108][109][110][111] have been performed, both for the investigation of the electronic structure and for the direct calculation of the emission current [101,109].…”

Carbon nanotubes have a host of properties that make them excellent candidates for electron emitters. A significant amount of research has been conducted on nanotube-based field-emitters over the past two decades, and they have been investigated for devices ranging from flat-panel displays to vacuum tubes and electron microscopes. Other electron emission mechanisms from carbon nanotubes, such as photoemission, secondary emission, and thermionic emission, have also been studied, although to a lesser degree than field-emission. This paper presents an overview of the topic, with emphasis on these less-explored mechanisms, although field-emission is also discussed. We will see that not only is electron emission from nanotubes promising for electronsource applications, but also its study could reveal unusual phenomena and open the door to new devices that are not directly related to electron beams.
