Field emission electron sources in vacuum electronics are largely considered to achieve
faster response, higher efficiency and lower energy consumption in comparison with …

This review of the quantitative electrostatics of field emitters, covering analytical, numerical
and'fitted formula'approaches, is thought the first of its kind in the 100 years of the subject …

We report an efficient method to synthesize vertically aligned Co3O4 nanostructures on the
surface of cobalt foils. This synthesis is accomplished by simply heating the cobalt foils in the …

Electron field emission from an isolated carbon nanotube (CNT) was performed in situ in a
modified scanning electron microscope, over a range of anode to CNT tip separations, D⁠ …

We report a catalyst-free, self-assembled growth mode generating single-crystal wurtzite
phase ultrasharp Ga As∕ Al Ga As nanoneedles on both GaAs and Si substrates via low …

A single‐electron emitter, based on a single quantized energy level, can potentially achieve
ultimate temporal and spatial coherence with a large emission current, which is desirable for …

With the superaligned carbon nanotube yarn as emitter, we have fabricated a 16× 16 pixel
field emission display prototype by adopting screen printing and laser cutting technologies …

Vacuum field effect transistors have been envisioned to hold the promise of replacing solid-
state electronics when the ballistic transport of electrons in a nanoscale vacuum can enable …

Field emission of an individual multiwalled carbon nanotube, driven by a customer-built
piezomanipulator, was measured in a transmission electron microscope. The measurement …

Probe electrospray ionization (PESI) has recently been developed, in which the electrospray
was generated from a solid needle instead of by using a capillary. In this paper, the …
