Abstract :
This paper presents the fabrication and characterization of carbon nanotubes cold cathodes and their improvement to photocathodes by adding p-i-n photodiodes in the device structure. Integration and operation of carbon nanotubes based photocathodes in prototype of dual x-ray tube is presented.
