Yv. Gulyaev et al., WORK FUNCTION ESTIMATE FOR ELECTRONS EMITTED FROM NANOTUBE CARBON CLUSTER FILMS, Journal of vacuum science & technology. B, Microelectronics and nanometer structures processing, measurement and phenomena, 15(2), 1997, pp. 422-424
Relying on the obtained theoretical and experimental results the elect
ronic work function from a nanotube carbon film was estimated. It was
shown that these structures have an electronic work function that is s
ubstantially lower than that for, graphite. The influence of the film
surface relief on its emission was regarded. (C) 1997 American Vacuum
