| dc.description.abstract | Electron field emission measurements have been made on multiwall arc discharge carbon nanotubes
embedded in a conjugated polymer host. Electron emission at low nanotube content is observed and
attributed to an enhancement of the applied electric field at the polymer/nanotube/vacuum interface
where the electron supply through the film is attributed to fluctuation induced tunneling in a
disordered percolation network. A high network resistance is attributed to a polymer coating
surrounding each nanotube, resulting in high resistance nanotube-polymer-nanotube tunnel
junctions. The potential use of carbon nanotube-polymer composites for field emission based
displays is also discussed. | en |
