Abstract
The sphere-like diamond microcrystalline-aggregates were fabricated by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) method. The ceramic with a Ti metal layer was used as substrates. The fabricated diamond microcrystalline aggregates were evaluated by Raman scattering spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction spectrum (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The field emission properties were tested by using a diode structure in a vacuum. A phosphor-coated indium tin oxide (ITO) anode was used for observing and characterizing the field emission. It was found that the sphere-like diamond microcrystalline-aggregates films exhibited good electron emission properties. The turn-on field was only 0.55V/μm, and emission current density as high as 11mA/cm2 was obtained under an applied field of 2.18V/μm for the first operation. After several cycling operations, the field emission tended to stable characteristics of current versus voltage. The stability evolvement and mechanism are investigated relating to microstructure of the sphere-like diamond microcrystalline-aggregates films.
