Summary :

We report field emission from multilayered cathodes grown on silicon and glass substrates. The cathode consist of a layer of nanoseeded diamond and overlayers of nanocluster carbon (sp2 bonded carbon) and tetrahedral amorphous carbon (predominantly sp3 bonded carbon). These films exhibit good field emission characteristics with an electron emission current density of 1µA/cm2, at a field of 5.1V/µm. The multilayered cathodes on silicon substrates exhibit even lower emission threshold field of about 1-2V/µm for an emission current density of 1µA/cm2. The emission is influenced by the nanoseeded diamond size and concentration and the properties of the nano carbon over layer.
