Field emission properties of patterned boron nanocones.

چکیده
Large area patterned boron nanocones with low turn-on electric field of 2.8 V microm(-1) and low threshold electric field of 3.8 V microm(-1) were synthesized by a pre-manipulation to pattern the catalyst with a grid template as mask. The good field emission performance of patterned boron nanocones arise from the decreased screening effect and a favorable orientation of the nanocones. These results show that the patterned growth is a highly efficient way to enhance the field emission performance of boron nanocones, which have a great potential of application in flat panel displays and electron emission nanodevices.

Electron states in boron nitride nanocones
We apply first-principles calculations to study the electronic structure of boron nitride nanocones with disclinations of different angles θ = nπ/3. Nanocones with odd values of n present antiphase boundaries that cause a reduction of the work function of the nanocones, relative to the bulk BN value, by as much as 2 eV. In contrast, nanocones with even values of n do not have such defects and p...
متن کاملComputational studies of carbon decorated boron nitride nanocones
Density functional theory ,(DFT) calculations have been performed to investigate the properties ofcarbon decorated (C-decorated) models of boron nitride (BN) nanocones. To this aim, the apex andtip of nanocone have been substituted by the carbon atoms to represent the C-decorated models. Theresults indicated that dipole moments and energy gaps could reveal the effects of C-decorations onthe pro...

Carbon nanotubes, carbon nanocones, and graphene nanoribbons are carbon-based nanomaterials, and their electronic and field emission properties can be altered by either electron donors or electron acceptors. Among both donors and accepters, nitrogen and boron atoms are typical substitutional dopants for carbon materials. The contribution of this paper mainly provides a comprehensive overview of...
