AbstractDiamond superlattices were fabricated by producing multilayer structures of isotopically pure carbon-12 (12C) and carbon-13 (13C), which confine electrons by a difference in band-gap energy. Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) measurements were employed to characterize the isotopic composition of the diamond superlattices. Layers between 2 nm and 350 nm in thickness can be designed and fabricated using a microwave plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition technique.

ABSTRACTA variety of carbon nanotube films have been fabricated and tested as cold cathodes. A spray deposition technique was developed for processing as-grown bulk nanotubes, both single-walled and multi-walled, into films of randomly oriented nanotubes. Films of randomly oriented multi-walled nanotubes were grown using thermal chemical vapor deposition, and arrays of well-aligned multi-walled nanotubes have been fabricated using a microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition technique. The emission current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of these nanotube cathodes have been measured. Both multi-walled (random and aligned) and single-walled carbon nanotubes exhibit low turn-on fields (∼ 2 V/μm to generate 1 nA) and threshold fields (< 5 V/μm to generate 10 mA/cm2). Significantly, these cathodes were capable of operation at very large current densities (> 1A/cm2), making them candidates for application in a variety of vacuum microelectronic devices.
