The Child–Langmuir Law (CL), discovered a century ago, gives the maximum current that
can be transported across a planar diode in the steady state. As a quintessential example of …

Field emission (FE) is based on the physical phenomenon of quantum tunneling, in which
electrons are injected from the surface of materials into vacuum under the influence of an …

Along with the technology evolution for dense integration of high-power, high-frequency
devices in electronics, the accompanying interfacial heat transfer problem leads to urgent …

Graphdiyne nanotube (GDNT) arrays were prepared through an anodic aluminum oxide
template catalyzed by Cu foil. The as-grown nanotubes have a smooth surface with a wall …

Micro and nano-structurally rich carbon materials are alternatives to conventional
metal/silicon tips for field emission sources. In particular, carbon nanotubes exhibit …

The field emission of individual multiwall carbon nanotubes grown by chemical vapor
deposition was measured in a scanning electron microscope. By using a sharp anode, we …

The behavior of mixtures of polymers with carbon nanotubes are reviewed. The use of
polymers as dispersing agents of individual CNT is described in detail. Two groups of …

The failure of individual multiwall carbon nanotubes during field emission and two-probe
characterization was studied in a scanning electron microscope on emitters grown by …

In this review we give an overview of the present status of research on carbon nanotube
(CNT) field emitters and their applications. Several different construction principles of field …

Carbon nanotube (CNT) devices and electronics are achieving maturity and directly
competing or surpassing devices that use conventional materials. CNTs have demonstrated …
