Secondary ion emissions from carbon nanotubes induced by MeV Si and Si2 clusters

Indium ion emission from nanotube fibres

“…It is therefore appealing to also explore the abovementioned advantages for ion emission. Concerning ion emission from nanotubes, only a secondary emission from CNTs induced by Si and Si 2 clusters in a MeV range has been reported so far [11]. In this paper we report on direct emission of ions from the surface of multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWNT) fibres.…”
