Abstract
In this work, we investigate effects of doping of hetero-atoms such as Nitrogen (N) on the growth and field emission properties of Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) in low temperature plasma. A theoretical model is developed to incorporate kinetics of electron, ions and neutral atoms with N as dop ing elements in complex and low temperature plasma. Results of numerical calculations of the radius of N-doped CNT are presented for typical glow discharge plasma parameters. It is found that the radius of CNT is reduced with N-doping. The field enhancement factor of CNT is also estimated from the obtained results.
