Nanostructured multitip surfaces have sufficient potential to obtain the high emission currents necessary to develop stable and noninertial sources of free electrons with increased levels of permissible currents. The key to understanding the processes of formation and stability of macroscopic emission currents from these large area field emitters (LAFEs) is assessing the local characteristics of individual emission sites. Herein, a method for determining the local emission characteristics of nanoscale emission sites is developed via processing the glow pattern data and a system for rapidly recording the current–voltage characteristics of LAFEs.

基于碳纳米管和石墨烯的大面积场发射器宏观和微观发射特性比较

纳米结构的多尖端表面有足够的潜力获得所需的高发射电流，以开发稳定和非惯性的自由电子源，并增加允许电流的水平。了解来自这些大面积场发射器 (LAFE) 的宏观发射电流的形成过程和稳定性的关键是评估各个发射点的局部特征。在此，通过处理辉光图案数据和用于快速记录 LAFE 电流-电压特性的系统，开发了一种确定纳米级发射位点局部发射特性的方法。
