摘要
We have fabricated patch-structured nanocone (NC) cathodes by using asymmetrically etched ion-track membranes which were metallized and fixed on flat holders. The conical channels of these templates were filled by potentiostatic copper deposition resulting in freestanding Cu-NC of similar to 28 mu m length, similar to 3 mu m base, and 160-240 nm tip diameter. Fairly homogeneous and well-aligned field emission from all patches was obtained due to the high NC (10(5) cm(-2)) and emitter densities (similar to 3/patch). Local measurements of selected spots and patches show distinct current jumps at mu A levels. SEM images of the processed areas reveal morphological changes proving a successive destruction of single Cu-NCs. Nevertheless, improved current values of similar to 300 mu A at reduced fields of 30-50 V/mu m have been achieved for the best Cu-NC patches.
