Diamond-like carbon (DLC) is a metastable form of amorphous carbon with significant sp3
bonding. DLC is a semiconductor with a high mechanical hardness, chemical inertness, and …

Field emission electron sources in vacuum electronics are largely considered to achieve
faster response, higher efficiency and lower energy consumption in comparison with …

Exchange-spring magnets are nanocomposites that are composed of magnetically hard and
soft phases that interact by magnetic exchange coupling. Such systems are promising for …

We studied various gas molecules (NO 2, O 2, NH 3, N 2, CO 2, CH 4, H 2 O, H 2, Ar) on
single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and bundles using first principles methods. The …

The controlled synthesis of materials by methods that permit their assembly into functional
nanoscale structures lies at the crux of the emerging field of nanotechnology. Although only …

Since the late 20th century, graphene—a one-atom-thick planar sheet of sp2-bonded carbon
atoms densely packed in a honeycomb crystal lattice—has garnered appreciable attention …

First Self-Contained Source Entirely Dedicated to Nanocarbons Carbon nanotubes (CNTs)
attract a good deal of attention for their electronic, mechanical, optical, and chemical …

Carbon nanotubes can act as electron sources with very rigid structures, making them
particularly interesting for use as point electron sources in high-resolution electron-beam …

Carbon nanotubes, a novel form of carbon discovered in 1991, have been rapidly
recognized as one of the most promising electron field emitters ever since the first emission …

In this review we give an overview of the present status of research on carbon nanotube
(CNT) field emitters and their applications. Several different construction principles of field …
