Abstract: Field emission characteristics of carbon films are improved by changing the conditions of the growth of the films, by adding nitrogen, or substitutes to the nitrogen for hydrogen, in the carbon film growth process. Resulting field emission cathodes exhibit better field emission characteristics because of the increased concentration of nitrogen within the film.

Abstract: One or more highly-oriented, multi-walled carbon nanotubes are grown on an outer surface of a substrate initially disposed with a catalyst film or catalyst nano-dot by plasma enhanced hot filament chemical vapor deposition of a carbon source gas and a catalyst gas at temperatures between 300null C. and 3000null C. The carbon nanotubes range from 4 to 500 nm in diameter and 0.1 to 50 nullm in length depending on growth conditions. Carbon nanotube density can exceed 104 nanotubes/mm2. Acetylene is used as the carbon source gas, and ammonia is used as the catalyst gas. Plasma intensity, carbon source gas to catalyst gas ratio and their flow rates, catalyst film thickness, and temperature of chemical vapor deposition affect the lengths, diameters, density, and uniformity of the carbon nanotubes. The carbon nanotubes of the present invention are useful in electrochemical applications as well as in electron emission, structural composite, material storage, and microelectrode applications.

Abstract: A method for fabricating the cathode plate of a carbon nano tube field emission display uses a photoconductive paste and etchable dielectric material to fabricate the cathode plate. The method combines photolithography process and etching process to fabricate a cathode electrode layer, a dielectric layer, a gate layer, and a carbon nano tube emission layer. Packing this cathode plate structure with a conventional anode plate together can form a carbon nano tube field emission array. The distribution of the electric field is uniform and the alignment at post-process is made easy.

Abstract: A method of constructing nanotube matrix material in a controlled manner wherein, a nanotube fragment having at least two potential energy-binding surfaces including two distinct levels of binding potential energy of H-bonding and a second lower binding potential energy of covalent bonding, are used for binding corresponding nanotube fragments. The method comprises the steps of: (a) bringing a solution of nanotube fragments together; (b) heating the solution to a temperature to disrupt the H-bonding but insufficient to denature the covalent bonding; (c) agitating the solution and slowly reducing the temperature (annealing) to a temperature where the H-bondings are stable, producing an optimal configuration; (d) adding a reagent to the solution to cause ring closure; and (e) introducing a catalytic element for purification and dehydrogenation of the nanotube matrix material formed.
