Microplasma illumination enhancement of vertically aligned conducting ultrananocrystalline diamond nanorods
نویسندگان
چکیده
Vertically aligned conducting ultrananocrystalline diamond (UNCD) nanorods are fabricated using the reactive ion etching method incorporated with nanodiamond particles as mask. High electrical conductivity of 275 Ω·cm-1 is obtained for UNCD nanorods. The microplasma cavities using UNCD nanorods as cathode show enhanced plasma illumination characteristics of low threshold field of 0.21 V/μm with plasma current density of 7.06 mA/cm2 at an applied field of 0.35 V/μm. Such superior electrical properties of UNCD nanorods with high aspect ratio potentially make a significant impact on the diamond-based microplasma display technology.

Quantum dots on vertically aligned gold nanorod monolayer: plasmon enhanced fluorescence.
CTAB-coated Au nanorods were directly self-assembled into a vertically aligned monolayer with highly uniform hot spots through a simple but robust approach. By coupling with CdSe/ZnS quantum dots, a maximum enhancement of 10.4 is achieved due to: increased excitation transition rate, radiative rate, and coupling efficiency of emission to the far field.

Field electron emission (FEE) properties of vertically aligned hexagonal boron nitride nanowalls (hBNNWs) grown on Si have been markedly enhanced through the use of nitrogen doped nanocrystalline diamond (nNCD) films as an interlayer. The FEE properties of hBNNWs-nNCD heterostructures show a low turn-on field of 15.2 V/μm, a high FEE current density of 1.48 mA/cm(2) and life-time up to a period...

Abstract A stable and highly sensitive gas ionization sensor (GIS) constructed from vertically aligned, conductive yttrium-doped ZnO nanorod (YZO NR) arrays is demonstrated. The conductive YZO NRs are synthesized using a facile one-pot hydrothermal method. At higher Y/Zn molar ratio, the aspect ratio of the YZO NRs is increased from 11 to 25. Doping with yttrium atoms decreases the electrical r...
