Thermionic 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 کاملThermionic emission from defective carbon nanotubes
Using a nanomanipulation system contained within a scanning electron microscope we investigate the thermionic electron emission from multiwall carbon nanotubes. Peak emission currents of 65 nA are measured. The carbon nanotubes being grown at low temperature by the chemical vapor deposition method are defective with poor thermal conductivity. We believe it is crucial for the thermal conductivit...
متن کاملBeta Radiation Enhanced Thermionic Emission from Diamond Thin Films
Diamond-based thermionic emission devices could provide a means to produce clean and renewable energy through direct heat-to-electrical energy conversion. Hindering progress of the technology are the thermionic output current and threshold temperature of the emitter cathode. In this report, we study the effects on thermionic emission caused by in situ exposure of the diamond cathode to beta rad...
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...
متن کاملThermionic Emission from Diamond Films in Molecular Hydrogen Environments
Diamond-based low-work function thermionic electron emitters are in high demand for applications ranging from electron guns and space thrusters to electrical energy converters. A key requirement of such diamond-based electron sources is hydrogen termination of the surfaces which can significantly reduce the emission barrier. However, at high temperatures (≤600°C), terminated hydrogen begins to ...
