Abstract :
This paper investigates the field emission characteristics for the carbon black field emitters with various carbon powder concentration. Moreover, BN nanofilm is deposited on the carbon black emitter in order to improve the field emission characteristics. A reduction in the turn-on electric field and an increase of the emission site are demonstrated. A uniformity of the electron emission is significantly improved.
