Field emission conduction mechanisms in chemical vapor deposited diamond and diamondlike carbon films

Abstract

Field emission properties of undoped chemical vapor deposited diamond and diamondlike carbon films have been measured for a variety of different deposition conditions. The nature and appearance of the damage site after testing, together with the mathematical form of the observed current-voltage relations, are correlated with the conductivity of the film. This is consistent with a model for the overall current which is a combination of conduction mechanisms through the bulk of the film with Fowler-Nordheim tunneling.

Poole–Frenkel conduction in polyvinyl chloride stabilized with dibutylin laurate–maleate

“…Polymeric materials, with interesting electrical properties, have been studied in great details [1][2][3][4][5]. A good amount of work on the conduction mechanisms of PVC in the form of metal-polymer-metal (MPM) structure has been reported in the literature [6][7][8][9][10].…”

Si-based erbium-doped light-emitting devices

“…1, in the lower applied-bias region, the electrical data of these devices can be well fitted with Schottky emission equation [8][9][10], while, in the higher applied-bias region, the data can be well fitted with a power law, that is an indication of a space-charge-limited current (SCLC) mechanism [9][10][11]. This means that the conduction is mainly due to one carrier: the electron.…”

“…where e 0 is the dielectric constant of the free space and e r denotes the permittivity of the gate dielectric [10].…”

Annealing effect on the dc transport mechanism in dysprosium oxide films grown on Si substrates

“…19,[29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] The mechanism that a particular J(V) characteristic follows depends on the voltage range, the sample structure, and hence on the conditions and method of preparation. In the present work, we have found that the most suitable mechanism that can explain the behavior of the experimental data is the Richardson-Schottky (RS) mechanism.…”
