Low-Threshold Field Emission from Carbon Structures
The surface of graphene-like structures placed in an electric field with a strength of 1−10 V/μm is found to undergo considerable deformation. This effect is observed in both a direct field (emission current i...

Low-Threshold Field Electron Emission from Two-Dimensional Carbon Structures
Particles of multilayer graphene obtained by the method of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis are proposed as an active cathode component for field electron emission. It is shown that this material ma...

New Type of the Electron Emission Induced by the Electric Field
A new type of the electron emission induced by a pulsed electric field with a strength of about 105 V/cm applied to the cathode made of graphene-like structures has been found. Pulsed currents of up to several...

A new class of portable X-ray apparatuses based on carbon nanocluster cathodes
Principles of the development of high-power pulsed X-ray sources based on explosive emission from carbon nanoclusters are stated. Designs and main parameters of the developed X-ray tubes ( the electron flow ex...

External focusing of nanosecond pulsed X-ray radiation
The feasibility of efficient focusing of high-power pulsed X-ray radiation generated by explosive electron emission from carbon nanoclusters is shown by direct experiments with the use of polycapillary X-ray o...

Peculiarities of the total energy distribution of field emission electrons from graphene-like structures
It is demonstrated that the field emission from graphene-like structures (GLSs) has a very low excitation threshold (about two orders of magnitude lower than that of metals and semiconductors). It is shown tha...

Low-threshold field electron emission from carbon nanoclusters formed upon cold destruction of graphite
The field-emission characteristics of carbon nanoclusters (graphenes, nanotubes, their compositions with microdiamonds) produced by the cold destruction of natural graphite are studied. The structure of a coat...
