Field emission from laterally aligned carbon nanotube flower arrays for low turn-on field emission

Laterally aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays “blossomed” homogeneously in honeycomb holes of a metal grid substrate were explored as rational architecture for field emission. A low turn-on field (TOF) of 1.09 V/μm for 10 μA/cm2 emission was achieved, which approaches or exceeds the lowest reported...
