  • Abstract
    In this paper, the addition of argon to the reactive gas of nitrogen caused the increase of the content and size of sp2-bonded clusters. This caused the domination of the local connectivity and lowered the surface tunnel barrier. Because of this, the field emission of amorphous carbon nitride (a-CNx) films was effectively enhanced.
