Notes:
Cobalt-containing amorphous carbon composite films have been prepared by the filtered cathodic arc technique using a cobalt-containing graphite target at room temperature. After heat treatment at 550 °C in a mixture of acetylene and nitrogen gases, the field emission properties were significantly improved. A threshold electric field of 1.7 V/μm and an emission site density of 105/cm2 were obtained without conditioning. The composite films, which can be deposited with a high rate at room temperature and require a relatively low temperature heat-treatment process to enhance electron emission, are promising for practical applications in field emission display. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
