Abstract

We study reliability of carbon nanofibers (CNFs) under high-current stress by examining CNF breakdown on four different configurations, suspended or supported, with/without tungsten deposition. The suspended results are consistently explained with a heat transport model taking into account Joule heating and heat dissipation along the CNF, while supported cases show a consistently larger current density just before breakdown, reflecting effective heat dissipation to the substrate.
