Issue Date: | 2018 | Publisher: | CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS | Source: | MRS COMMUNICATIONS, 8(3), p. 1311-1320 | Abstract: | Vertically aligned nitrogen-doped nanocrystalline diamond nanorods are fabricated from nitrogen-doped nanocrystalline diamond films using reactive ion etching in oxygen plasma. These nanorods show enhanced thermionic electron emission (TEE) characteristics, viz.. a high current density of 12.0 mA/cm(2) and a work function value of 4.5 eV with an applied voltage of 3 Vat 923 K. The enhanced TEE characteristics of these nanorods are ascribed to the induction of nanographitic phases at the grain boundaries and the field penetration effect through the local field enhancement from nanorods owing to a high aspect ratio and an excellent field enhancement factor. | Notes: | [Sankaran, Kamatchi Jothiramalingam; Drijkoningen, Sien; Pobedinskas, Paulius; Van Bael, Marlies K.; Haenen, Ken] Hasselt Univ, Inst Mat Res IMO, B-3590 Diepenbeek, Belgium.
