Abstract
Field ionization provides an efficient approach to generate ions, especially for compact neutron generator. We studied the property of field ion emission of carbon nanotube bundle arrays prepared by microwave plasma CVD, the results shows the as-prepared CNT arrays are capable of generating ions substantially at low external applied field, which provide a practical way to fabrication of compact neutron generator.
