Field emission characteristics of Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) films prepared using a Magnetron Sputter-type Negative Ion Source (MSNIS)

Diamond-like carbon films deposited on three-dimensional shape substrate model by liquid electrochemical technique

“…DLC films have widespread applications in the fields of optical windows, magnetic storage disks, car parts, biomedical coatings and micro-electromechanical systems (MEM) because of their excellent physical and chemical properties, such as high mechanical hardness, low friction coefficient, wear-resistance and chemical inertness A C C E P T E D M A N U S C R I P T ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 2 [1][2][3][4][5]. The practical applications usually request DLC films to be deposited on the substrates with complex surface or structure.…”

Synthesis and field emission of diamond-like carbon nanorods on TiO2/Ti nanotube arrays

“…Similar to genuine diamond films [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9], DLC film also has a lot of advantages, including high thermal conductivity, low thermal expansion coefficient and so on [10][11][12][13][14][15]. Therefore, it is widely used in field emission display, gas sensors, microwave tubes and biomedical applications etc.…”

Synthesis of Carbon Nanoflakes by Radio-Frequency Sputtering and Their Field Emission Characteristics

“…Generally, an increase in emission current density and a decrease in the turn-on field can be achieved by either fabricating a sharp edge or tip as the emission source 2) or employing a low effective potential barrier height material as the emitter. 3) Excellent EFE characteristics with a low turn-on electric field and a high EFE current density have been observed from various materials, for example, carbon nanotube (CNT), [4][5][6][7] diamond, 8) carbon films, [9][10][11][12][13] and other carbon structures. 14,15) The electron emission behavior of diamond-or carbon-filmcoated Mo- 16) or Si-tips 17) are also widely investigated.…”
