碳纳米管薄膜场发射阴极制备及对其提高场发射性能的优化处理的中期报告 Abstract: Carbon nanotube (CNT) film field emission cathodes have been widely studied due to their excellent field emission properties, including high current density, low turn-on field, and stable emission. In this paper, we report on the fabrication and optimization of carbon nanotube thin film field emission cathodes. The results showed that the as-prepared CNT films exhibited a low turn-on electric field of 1.7 V μm?1, and a high field enhancement factor of about 6200. By optimizing the post-treatment process, the field emission properties of the CNT film have been further enhanced. Introduction: Carbon nanotubes are known for their unique electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties, making them an attractive material for various applications. In the field of microelectronic devices, carbon nanotubes have been used to fabricate field emission cathodes due to their superior field emission properties. The field emission properties of carbon nanotube films depend on their structural properties, such as tube diameter, wall thickness, and alignment. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of post-treatment processes on the field emission properties of carbon nanotube thin film cathodes. Carbon nanotube films were fabricated using a simple method of electrophoretic deposition. Field emission measurements were carried out using a vacuum chamber equipped with a Keithley 237 source meter and a phosphor screen. Results and Discussion: The carbon nanotube films were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The SEM images showed that the carbon nanotubes were well-aligned with a uniform diameter and length (Figure 1). The Raman spectrum showed characteristic peaks of carbon nanotubes, indicating the high purity of the film. The XRD pattern confirmed the presence of graphitic carbon in the nanotube film. For the as-prepared CNT films, the turn-on electric field w
