ABSTRACTOur simulations predict that boron-nitride (BN) doping in carbon nanotubes can greatly improve the field emission properties of these systems. The intrinsic electric field associated with the polarity of the B-N bond enhances the emitted current density through a reduction of the work function at the tip. Using a combination of real-space and plane-wave ab initio methods, we show that this effect is present in both coaxial (BN@C) and linear (BN/C) nanotubular assemblies. While in the coaxial geometry the improvement amounts to a factor of five, the current density is predicted to increase by up to two orders of magnitude in BN/C superlattices.

In this paper, we report a recent experimental observation of the effect of thermal accumulation to the field emission properties of the carbon nanotubes. The carbon nanotubes are grown on Ni by CVD. We compare the field emission characteristics of carbon nanotubes cathodes under DC and pulse mode. Our research shows that the higher current and higher current density could be acquired by suppressing the thermal accumulation. The Fowler-Nordheim plot shows a good linear fit, indicating that the emission current of carbon nanotubes follows Fowler-Nordheim behavior.

Herein, we report the field emission properties of NiFe2O4/reduced graphene oxide/carbon nanotubes (NGC) and compared them with the field emission properties of NiFe2O4/carbon nanotubes (NC) and NiFe2O4/reduced graphene oxide (NG).
