Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, high-brightness nanocarbon field emission electron emitter was successfully fabricated by using a field emission induced growth (FEIG) method, which can be used for an electron microscopy. The nanocarbon emitter is made of a cluster of carbon nanocapsules having a diameter of about 1 nm, and it achieves more than 1 order of higher brightness than a conventional single crystalline tungsten emitter. Because of self alignment nature of the FEIG method, the grown nanocarbon emitter is easy to beam alignment in a conventional electron gun. Furthermore, it works under the same order of extraction voltage as a single crystalline tungsten emitter, so that it has been demonstrated that it has high adaptability to existing field emission electron guns.
