It is extremely possible for CNTs to adsorb moisture and other contaminants during the fabrication processes, leading to the degraded field emission characteristics. In this work, CNT emitters are activated with commonly used heating process and supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2) fluids technology for removing adsorbed residue moisture. Experimental results have demonstrated that the electrical stability and field emission enhancement of CNT emitters are effectively achieved by the SCCO2fluids treatment compared to the heating process, due to the minimization of residuary moisture in CNTs.","PeriodicalId":220722,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE Conference on Emerging Technologies - Nanoelectronics","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125926465","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}

This model reproduces the PL spectra quite well. Our quantitative calculations of the behavior of the thermal emitting carriers under various incident power intensities within the temperature range 15−240 K explain the carrier transfer process quite reasonably for the quantum dot system.

The structure of the film was investigated by Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction measurements and the results indicated that the structure of the film is amorphous. The temperature dependence on resistivity was measured in the temperature range of 2-300 K. At the temperature of around 4.2 K resistive superconducting transition was observed. In order that the tungsten oxide and tungsten carbide with which super-conductive transition temperature is different formed the finite cluster group, it can be understand by percolation theory that the superconducting phase of the total system appears.

Over the temperature range from 300 to 20 K, the excitation cross sections of the MQW emissions possessing MQB structures were between 9.6 × 10-12cm2and 5.3 × 10-15cm2, while those possessing GaN barriers were between 8.1 × 10-12cm2and 4.5 × 10-15cm2. We found, however, that the figure of merit for the LED light output was the capture fraction of the cross section; we observed that the dependence of the optical intensity on the temperature coincided with the evolution of the capture fraction. This analysis permitted us to assign the capture cross-section ratios at room temperature for the MQWs with MQBs and with GaN barriers as 0.46 and 0.35. Furthermore, the MQW system possessing well-designed MQB structures not only exhibited the thermally insensitive luminescence but also inhibited energetic carrier overflow.","PeriodicalId":220722,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE Conference on Emerging Technologies - Nanoelectronics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116268238","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}

These planar nanotripods are synthesized via a novel approach known as catalyst-free combust-oxidized mesh (CFCOM) process that we developed using a ZnO factory furnace. At about 1200 °C, high velocity zinc vapor is instantly oxidized and captured in a steel mesh for 20s and then air-quenched. From this subminute synthesis process, three types of polycrystalline 2-D tripodal nanostructures are discovered. The ZnO tripods are composed of three planar arms that appear as rectangular nanoplates. We propose two growth routes for these planar tripods, namely base-arm and tripodal-core routes. For the former route, growth begins with the base arm in [[unk] [unk] 20 ] direction. During quenching, the other two arms grow from newly formed tapered facets, ([unk]110) and (1[unk]10). The tripodal-core growth route involves the formation of a hexagonal disc with ±( 0002 ) larger surfaces. From this core, three arms grow simultaneously in [ 11[unk]0 ], [ [unk]10 ] and [ 1[unk]10 ] directions, while the core transforms into a Y-shaped configuration with ±( 10[unk]0), ±( 01[unk]0 ) and ±( [unk]100 ) planes. Morphological analyses are performed using FESEM, EDS, TEM and XRD.
