Modeling 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 کاملEffects of applying stress on the electron field emission properties in amorphous carbon thin films
Diamond-like carbon sDLCd films have always had high intrinsic stress due to their metastable structure and the fine balance between film density and bond stability. We show the effects of high intrinsic stress on the electron field emission performance, where a lower electric field for emission is recorded with increasing stress in the DLC films. In addition to examining “as deposited” films w...
متن کاملEffect of bias voltage on structural and mechanical characteristics of diamond-like carbon thin film applied by ion beam deposition
This study, investigates the effect of bias voltage on structural changes of diamond-like carbon thin film created by ion beam deposition is investigated. For this purpose, the bias voltage in the values of 0 V, -50 V, -100 V and -150 V on the AA5083 aluminum alloy was considered. Raman spectroscopy was used to evaluate structural. Influence of the bias voltage on the thickness and roughness of...
متن کاملDeposition and Characterization of Si-Doped Diamond Films Using Tetraethoxysilane onto a WC-Co Substrate
Silicon-doped (Si-doped) diamond films were deposited on a Co-cemented tungsten carbide (WC-Co) substrate using the hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) method with a mixture of acetone, tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), and hydrogen as the recant source. The as-deposited doped diamond films were characterized with field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Raman spectrum, and X-ra...
