Abstract
To design efficient and powerful field emission cathodes, the screening effect is of great importance and should be traded off between screening and emitter number. It has long been found that to achieve maximum emission efficiency in an array, neighboring emitters are at two or three times their height from each other. However, this is only true for one-dimensional emitters, such as carbon nanotubes, but for graphene, a two-dimensional material, it is different. In this work, we found that to achieve maximum emission efficiency in an array of graphene, the separation of the emitter is four times the height, and it is insensitive to the anode voltage and the distance between the cathode and the anode.
