Effect of O2+, H2+ O 2+, and N2+ O2 + ion-beam irradiation on the field emission properties of carbon nanotubes
The effect of O2+, H2+ O 2+, and N2+ O2 + ion-beam irradiation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) films on the chemical and electronic properties of the material is reported. The CNTs were grown by the chemical vapor deposition technique (CVD) on silicon TiN coated substrates previously decorated with Ni pa...
