Field Emission Characteristics of Carbon Nanometer Ball Films
Carbon nanometer ball films were deposited on Si (100) by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition. The structure and surface morphology of carbon nanometer ball films was investigated by using Raman spectroscopy and field emission scanning electron microscope. The carbon nanometer ball film was composed of large numbers of about 2~3 m-length and 100 nm-width amorphous carbon sheets which were intertwined and interwoven with each other into a ball. The field emission testing of carbon nanometer ball films was performed in a high vacuum system
and good field emission properties with a threshold field of 3.1 V/m and a current density of 60.7 mA/cm
2
at an electric field of 10 V/m were obtained from the carbon films. A three electric filed model was applied to explaining reasonably the field emission characteristics of carbon nanometer ball films in the low
middle and high electric field region.
