Abstract
A carbon film having an area of insulating material surrounded by an area of conducing material, and an area of material between the area of insulating material and the area of conducting material having a graded dielectric constant which varies from high to low from the area of insulating material to the area of conducting material. An emission site on the carbon film will emit electrons as a function of time, and as a function of distance across an emission site area.
Claims13
A field emission material having areas that do not emit electrons and a plurality of emission sites that do emit electrons, wherein at least one of the emission sites exhibits an emission current that varies across the cross-section of the emission site while the emission site is emitting electrons, wherein the at least one of the emission sites exhibits an emission current that varies temporally.
A field emission material having areas that do not emit electrons and a plurality of emission sites that do emit electrons, wherein at least one of the emission sites exhibits an emission current that varies across the cross-section of the emission site while the emission site is emitting electrons, wherein the at least one of the emission sites comprises a plurality of grains with interfaces in between.
A field emission cathode comprising:
- a substrate;
- and
- a field emitter material having areas that do not emit electrons and a plurality of emission sites that do emit electrons, wherein each of the emission sites exhibits an emission current that varies across the cross-section of the emission site while the emission site is emitting electrons, wherein each of the emission sites comprises a plurality of grains with interfaces in between.
A field emission cathode comprising:
- a substrate;
- and
- a field emitter material having areas that do not emit electrons and a plurality of emission sites that do emit electrons, wherein each of the emission sites exhibits an emission current that varies across the cross-section of the emission site while the emission site is emitting electrons, wherein each of the emission sites exhibits an emission current that varies temporally.
