Abstract

In this paper, the electron-molecule collision ionization is added to field emission under non-vacuum conditions, and the change of emission current caused by vacuum adjustment in field emission of carbon nanotubes is explained. The field emission current density equation under non-vacuum conditions is established. Through the theoretical analysis and the processing of experimental data, it can be concluded that when other variables are controlled unchanged, the change of pressure will affect the concentration of gas molecules in the air and the collision probability with electrons, then the density of emission current is changed. The study has a certain reference value for the application of field emission in low vacuum and atmospheric pressure.
