The precipitation phenomena in a secondary hardening experimental steel alloyed with Ni and Al have been investigated by atom probe tomography (APT). The overall precipitation behavior during tempering has been sequenced as follows: a constant heating rate of 20degC/min was applied to small rods, and they were subsequently quenched from the desired temperature in order to monitor the development of the microstructure, which consists of a fine dispersion of secondary hardening complex carbides (Mo, Cr, V carbides) and intermetallic B2 (CsCl) ordered NiAl particles. The early stages of precipitation of ordered precipitates was investigated by following the behavior of homo- and hetero-atomic Ni, Al pairs by plotting the pair correlation function as derived from the 3D data-sets. For longer aging times, it appears that complex carbides precipitate together with an intermetallic NiAl phase. However, the composition of both phases was found to vary during tempering; specifically, a significant amount of iron is still present in the core of the ordered phase even in the overaged conditions. Additionally, ordering in NiAl intermetallic precipitates was monitored by probing along a superstructure [200] direction. A large displacement shift of the Ni sublattice with respect to the Al-sublattice in the direction perpendicular to the analysis was observed. This effect has been simulated and can be related to trajectory aberrations during the evaporation sequence","PeriodicalId":108834,"journal":{"name":"2006 19th International Vacuum Nanoelectronics Conference","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122023884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional normal gate FED consists of front and rare glass substrates, using spacer matrix for maintain fixed gap. Compared with diode structure, the modulation voltage is lower in triode structure because of the shorter gap between gate and cathode. However, in a normal gate triode, the field emission emitters can be easily destroyed because of the later fabrication of dielectric layer and gate. Moreover, cathode emission is quite sensitive to structure parameters such as dielectric layer' thickness, anode voltage and gate aperture; therefore, it is hard to guarantee emission uniformity. This paper introduces a structure similar to HOP one to solve the problems above. Gates and sequent spacers are screen printed on glass. Because the field emitters and hop glass are fabricated respectively, the emission emitters will not be destroyed in the later process the vacuum gap between cathode and gate replaces dielectric layer, so the small modulation voltage can be obtained. To ensure the mechanical strength of the hop glass plate, the thickness of the hop plate increases to 0.55 mm. Because glass is flatter than ordinary dielectric layer, better emission uniformity can be gotten. The hole of the hop plate is similar to dumbbell structure. We can change the shape of the hole to get good display effect. At present, the number of electrons reaching anode is less than 1% of electrons emitted by carbon nanotube. Thereupon, we should evaporate MgO to the lower half part of the holes to get secondary electrons. Now the voltage of gate is about 250 V. The technique flow shows as follows. At first, the CNTs paste was printed on cathode and the phosphors paste was printed on anode by screen-printing method and fired at 160degC. Then, the holes of hop plate are eroded by chemical method. The gate preparation is also use screen-printing method. And MgO is evaporated. Next, cathode plate, anode plate and gate plate are packaged by frit. At last, after pumping, we get the display panel","PeriodicalId":108834,"journal":{"name":"2006 19th International Vacuum Nanoelectronics Conference","volume":"138 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115687160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
