Secondary-electron emission from hydrogen- terminated diamond
Diamond amplifiers demonstrably are an electron source with the potential to support high-brightness, highaverage-current emission into a vacuum. We recently developed a reliable hydrogenation procedure for the diamond amplifier. The systematic study of hydrogenation resulted in the reproducible fabrication of high gain diamond amplifier. Furthermore, we measured the emission probability of dia...
متن کاملHigh-temperature electron emission from diamond films
This work examines electron field-emission characteristics of polycrystalline diamond films at elevated temperatures. Diamond is an excellent material as a field emitter because of its exceptional mechanical hardness and chemical inertness. The motivation behind this study involves the use of field emitters in applications where high temperatures exist. Nitrogen-doped polycrystalline diamond fi...
متن کاملThermionic emission from surface-terminated nanocrystalline diamond
Thermionic electron emission forms the basis of both electron sources for a variety of applications and a direct energy conversion process that is compact and scalable. The present study characterizes thermionic emission from boron-doped nanocrystalline diamond films with hydrogen and nitrophenyl surface termination layers. A hemispherical energy analyzer was used to measure electron energy dis...
متن کاملModeling of the electron field emission process in polycrystalline diamond and diamond-like carbon thin films
Electron field emission has been observed from carbon thin films at relatively low electric fields. These films range from amorphous carbon to polycrystalline diamond films. There are many models that attempt to account for the electron field emission process observed in these films. The initial models that were based on the emission due purely to a negative electron affinity have now been modi...
متن کاملImaging electron emission from diamond and III–V nitride surfaces with photo-electron emission microscopy
Ž . Wide bandgap semiconductors such as diamond and the III–V nitrides GaN, AlN, and AlGaN alloys exhibit small or even negative electron affinities. Results have shown that different surface treatments will modify the electron affinity of Ž . diamond to cause a positive or negative electron affinity NEA . This study describes the characterization of these surfaces Ž . with photo-electron emiss...
