Abstract
The influence of oxygen on field emission properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) was studied experimentally. Field emission images and current–voltage curves acquired using a field emission microscope (FEM) showed that exposure to oxygen resulted in an increased work function of SWCNTs. Oxidation etching at high temperature sharpened the SWCNT ends and field emission was therefore enhanced.
