Abstract

Summary form only given, as follows. It has been shown that carbon nanotubes exhibit good electron field emission properties, therefore, have potential application in field emission displays as electron field emitters. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are most commonly used as field emitters for flat panel displays. A particle-in-cell computer simulation code MAGIC was used in this work to investigate the field emission characteristics from a single closed-capped MWCNT in a triode configuration.
