摘要
Computations for three-dimensional diode/triode configurations involving regular arrays of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been performed. The numerical results have been used to derive analytical relationships for the CNT electric field. These relationships, together with a previously obtained analytical formula giving the CNT electron emission current, allow the computation of the array current as function of various parameters. For diode configurations, an optimum spacing of the CNT array is shown to exist. Triode configurations with regular CNT arrays have highly nonuniform fields, the CNTs placed at the array edge providing more than 90% of the array current. (c) 2007 American Vacuum Society.
