Abstract

In this work, we examine the operation of individual field emitter cells contained in a field emitter array composed of integrally gated multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT)-based field emission cathodes. These devices were found to behave in a manner consistent with a multiple emission site model of Fowler-Nordheim field emission. These results show considerable variation in the operational characteristics of cells contained within the same array and indicate that data obtained from arrays of cells are not necessarily indicative of individual cell performance.
