CVD diamond: a novel high γ-coating for plasma display panels?

Secondary electron emission and glow discharge properties of 12CaO·7Al2O3electride for fluorescent lamp applications

“…For example, it has been known that the luminous efficiency is improved by changing the cathode material from Ni to Mo, as a result of the reduction in the cathode fall voltage. Improvement was also achieved by depositing a film of doped diamond or MgO on the surface of a metal electrode, thereby lowering the electron emission threshold [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39], although the lifetime of the lamp was not satisfactory.…”

“…The discharge properties of C12A7 electride were studied using the apparatus shown in figure 7(a) [30,36,56]. It is possible to evaluate the discharge characteristics of the cathode material, under various pressures of discharge gas, without fabricating a lamp based on that material.…”

Preparation of single-walled carbon nanotube reinforced magnesia films

“…These layers have been used in the PDP industry since their introduction in the 1970s by Uchiike et al [6], in spite of many attempts to find materials with better properties. For example, Bachmann et al [7] showed that carbon nanotubes by vapour deposition (CVD) diamond coating can have SEE yield value as large as MgO for neon ions and much larger than MgO for xenon ions. Yi et al [3] obtained very large SEE values of maximum 15 000 when a MgO film was deposited on randomly oriented multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), which is much higher 1 Author to whom any correspondence should be addressed.…”

Influence of the rapid thermal annealing on the properties of a-C:H/c-Si structures

“…Influence of the rapid thermal annealing on the properties of a-C:H/c-Si structures 1. Introduction Amorphous hydrogenated carbon (a-C:H) deposited by RF-plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) is a promising material for flat panel displays, metal-semiconductor-metal switches [1] and interlayer dielectric applications.…”

“…Introduction Amorphous hydrogenated carbon (a-C:H) deposited by RF-plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) is a promising material for flat panel displays, metal-semiconductor-metal switches [1] and interlayer dielectric applications. A heterostructure of a-C:H/c-Si has been investigated in [2][3][4][5] that is suitable for solar cell applications [6].…”
