The negative conductance results from delays of electron emission and a transit in vacuum transit layer. For the diode a potential barrier of a difference in electron affinity energy between silicon and DLC is lower than energy of emitting electron and a width of DLC and vacuum transit layers are an order of a magnitude higher than for the diodes before investigated. Therefore the emission delay in the model includes a delay of a ballistic electron transit in DLC besides a delay of an electron tunneling under potential barrier of affinity energy in DLC. A spectrum of the negative conductance depending on parameters of DLC and vacuum transit layer was studied.","PeriodicalId":173642,"journal":{"name":"2016 29th International Vacuum Nanoelectronics Conference (IVNC)","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128743601","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}

The field emission (FE) behaviors of SmB<sub>6</sub> nanocone arrays were investigated to reveal their surface properties. FE measurement results show that SmB<sub>6</sub> nanocone arrays have a low turn-on electric field of 1.84 V/μm (at 10 μA/cm<sup>2</sup>) and good emission stability, which may have potential applications in FE area.","PeriodicalId":173642,"journal":{"name":"2016 29th International Vacuum Nanoelectronics Conference (IVNC)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130689526","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}
