Characterizing field emission from individual carbon nanotubes at small distances

Abstract: This article demonstrates the characterization of field emission from individual carbon nanotubes (CNTs) attached to a tungsten tip, when the separation distance s between the anode and tip of the CNT (cathode) is less than 15μm. The separation distance is adjusted with a nanopositioning stage after establishing a datum by detecting the anode surface with the CNT tip. Our separation distance s differs by the height h of the CNT from the distance d that is often measured between the planar anode and the planar … Show more

“…Figure 3a shows the field emission I-V characteristics of a CPA with a turn-on voltage of 0.9 V/μm. This low turn-on field of CPAs is comparable to values typically reported for individual CNT emitters [7,8].…”

“…7 shows field emission measurement results on the samples A, B and C respectively. It is known form the previous works [15,18,39,40] that field emission from CNTs is governed by Fowler-Nordheim (F-N) equation as given below [39][40][41].…”

“…9 There have been extensive theoretical studies of the effects on the geometrical shape and interelectrode distance of a single CNT. [10][11][12] However, the experimental study of the field emission properties from a single CNT or CNF at nanometer regime gap is scarce. It is attributed to the challenge in resolving the separation in sub 100 nm.…”
