Effects of methane on multi-wall carbon nanotube field emitter for a low energy ion source

A low energy ion source based on carbon nanotube (CNT) electron emitter was constructed for calibrating the ion-mode of mass spectrometer or other ion detectors. The field emission properties of CNT for CH4 were tested in the experiments. The field emission current increases along with the pressure...
