Abstract

The field emission characteristics of the Si emitters and the diamond coated Si emitters are investigated. The Fowler-Nordheim plots of the two types of Si emitters show linear slopes. It means that the I-V characteristics follow the Fowler-Nordheim relation. Field emission for the two types of diamond coated Si emitters exhibits significant enhancement both in turn-on voltage and total emission current. The Raman spectrum shows that the high intensity graphite peak is observed with diamond peak and thereby large amounts of graphite may be included in the diamond grain boundary. It seems to be thought that the graphite participates in the low field emission. However, further investigations are needed to understand whether the graphite may enhance the emission characteristics of diamond or not.
