Field emission, which is the extraction of electrons from the surface of a material through the solid-vacuum potential barrier by quantum mechanical tunneling induced by an external electric field, has attracted considerable attention because of its numerous applications in technologies such as field-emission displays, back-light units, and electron guns. In this study, vertical N-doped carbon nanotube (VNCNT) arrays were decorated with Au, Ru, or Mn nanoparticles, and the effects of the particles on the field-emission properties were investigated. |
