摘要
The field emission properties of multiwall carbon nanotube films with and without a coating of tetrahedrally bonded amorphous carbon (ta-C) were investigated. Voltage thresholds of 2.4 V/mu m for uncoated films and 1.5 V/mu m for ta-C coated films were found. The results for the uncoated films are in good agreement with previous measurements of field emission from carbon nanotubes. The effect of the ta-C coating on the emission properties is discussed in light of current field emission models. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics. pS0003-6951(99)02043-4].
