Carbon-nanotube-polymer nanocomposites for field-emission cathodes.
The electron field-emission (FE) characteristics of functionalized single-walled carbon-nanotube (CNT)-polymer composites produced by solution processing are reported. It is shown that excellent electron emission can be obtained by using as little as 0.7% volume fraction of nanotubes in the composite. Furthermore by tailoring the nanotube concentration and type of polymer, improvements in the c...
متن کاملField emission from non-uniform carbon nanotube arrays
Regular arrays of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are frequently used in studies on field emission. However, non-uniformities are always present like dispersions in height, radius, and position. In this report, we describe the effect of these non-uniformities in the overall emission current by simulation. We show that non-uniform arrays can be modeled as a perfect array multiplied by a factor that is a...
متن کاملCarbon nanotube–polymer composites for photonic devices
We report the fabrication of high optical quality single wall carbon nanotube polyvinyl alcohol composites and their application in nanotube based photonic devices. These show a broad absorption of semiconductor tubes centred at 1.55mm, the spectral range of interest for optical communications. The films are used as mode-lockers in an erbium doped fibre laser, achieving 700 fs mode-locked pulse...
متن کاملCarbon nanotube junctions and devices Carbon nanotube junctions and devices
Carbon nanotubes are molecules entirely made of carbon atoms. Owing to their special shape, they are extremely stiff but also very flexible. The electronic properties are determined by the exact symmetry of the nanotube lattice, resulting in either metallic or semiconducting behavior. Due to their small diameter, electronic motion is directed in the length direction of the nanotube, making them...
متن کاملPhoto- and thermionic emission from potassium-intercalated carbon nanotube arrays
Carbon nanotubes CNTs are promising candidates to create new thermionicand photoemission materials. Intercalation of CNTs with alkali metals, such as potassium, greatly reduces their work functions, and the low electron scattering rates of small-diameter CNTs offer the possibility of efficient photoemission. This work uses a Nd:YAG YAG denotes yttrium aluminum garnet laser to irradiate singlean...
