Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a carbonaceous material having a new structure, its manufacturing method and an electron emitter employing the carbonaceous material having the new structure as an electron emission material. SOLUTION: Through a catalytic CVD method employing a catalyst containing Ni or its oxide and In or its oxide, the carbonaceous material is grown by thermally decomposing a raw material gas near the catalyst at 550-750°C. The manufactured carbonaceous material comprises a structure which contains carbon and a metal or a metal oxide and is 1-100 μm in diameter and filaments which essentially comprise carbon, are ≤200 nm in diameter and are radially grown from the surface of the structure.

Abstract:
Described is a lateral field emission device emitting electrons in parallel with respect to a substrate. Electron emission materials having a predetermined thickness are arranged in a direction with respect to the substrate on a supporting portion. An anode is disposed on a side portion of the substrate, the anode corresponding to the electron emission materials.

Abstract:
A method for preparing single-crystalline, rare-earth metal hexaboride nanowires by a chemical vapor deposition process is described. Also described are the nanowires themselves, the electron emitting properties of the nanowires, and the use of the nanowires in electron emitting devices, particularly as point electron sources.
Abstract:
The following method is provided: a method of readily fabricating an electron-emitting device, coated with a low-work function material, having good electron-emitting properties with high reproducibility such that differences in electron-emitting properties between electron-emitting devices are reduced. Before a structure is coated with the low-work function material, a metal oxide layer is formed on the structure.
Abstract:
An electron source includes a back contact surface having a means for attaching a power source to the back contact surface. The electron source also includes a layer comprising platinum in direct contact with the back contact surface, a composite layer of single-walled carbon nanotubes embedded in platinum in direct contact with the layer comprising platinum. The electron source also includes a nanocrystalline diamond layer in direct contact with the composite layer. The nanocrystalline diamond layer is doped with boron. A portion of the back contact surface is removed to reveal the underlying platinum. The electron source is contained in an evacuable container.
Abstract:
A stable cold field electron emitter is produced by forming a coating on an emitter base material. The coating protects the emitter from the adsorption of residual gases and from the impact of ions, so that the cold field emitter exhibits short term and long term stability at relatively high pressures and reasonable angular electron emission.
