Subthreshold field emission from thin silicon membranes
We report on strongly enhanced electron multiplication in thin silicon membranes. The device is configured as a transmission-type membrane for electron multiplication. A subthreshold electric field applied on the emission side of the membrane enhances the number of electrons emitted by two orders of magnitude. This enhancement stems from field emitted electrons stimulated by the incident partic...
متن کاملThickness-dependent optimization of Er3+ light emission from silicon-rich silicon oxide thin films
This study investigates the influence of the film thickness on the silicon-excess-mediated sensitization of Erbium ions in Si-rich silica. The Er3+ photoluminescence at 1.5 μm, normalized to the film thickness, was found five times larger for films 1 μm-thick than that from 50-nm-thick films intended for electrically driven devices. The origin of this difference is shared by changes in the loca...
متن کاملField emission from atomically thin edges of reduced graphene oxide.
Point sources exhibit low threshold electron emission due to local field enhancement at the tip. The development and implementation of tip emitters have been hampered by the need to position them sufficiently apart to achieve field enhancement, limiting the number of emission sites and therefore the overall current. Here we report low threshold field (< 0.1 V/μm) emission of multiple electron b...
متن کاملElectron field emission from cluster-assembled carbon thin films
– Cluster-assembled carbon films deposited at room temperature from a supersonic cluster beam are found to be good electron field emitters. The films have been characterized by Raman spectroscopy showing a largely sp bonded character. Scanning Electron Microscopy shows that the films have a low-density granular structure, characterized by voids on the nanoscale. We have observed a threshold fie...
