| Abstract |
Individual multiwalled carbon nanotube field emitters were prepared in a scanning electron microscope. The angular current density, energy spectra, and the emission stability of the field-emitted electrons were measured. An estimate of the electron source brightness was extracted from the measurements. The results show that carbon nanotubes are promising candidates to replace existing sources in high-resolution electron beam instruments.
