Abstract :
Investigation of the electron emission process of carbon nanotubes is required for their application as electron sources, for example in displays, electron beam lithography machines and electron microscopes. Fowler-Nordheim (F-N) theory has recently been extended to apply to spherical emitting surfaces.
