Description

Process for improving field emission performance by processing cathode film
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of field emission cathode film preparation and treatment, and the field emission point is regulated and controlled by using different types of adhesive tapes and changing parameters such as adhesive tape treatment times and the like, and weights are used for enabling the adhesive tapes and the field emission cathode film to be treated to be more tightly attached, so that the function of improving the field emission performance by adhesive tape treatment is exerted to the maximum extent, and the purposes of improving the cathode appearance, reducing the field shielding effect and finally improving the field emission performance are achieved.
Background
In recent years, with the continuous and intensive research on electron emission technology and the continuous expansion of the application range thereof, field electron emission is a cold cathode emission mode, which receives a great deal of attention from researchers at home and abroad, has potential application in many fields such as flat panel display, X-ray tube and microwave generator, and becomes a hot research problem in the vacuum micro-nano electron industry.
And field emission is formed by reducing the height of a solid surface barrier, compressing the width of the surface barrier, and enabling electrons to pass through or over the top end of the barrier through a tunneling effect. Specifically, under the action of an external high-voltage electric field, due to the fact that the electric field is enhanced near an electrode (namely a field emission cathode) with larger curvature, when the barrier width of the solid surface is reduced to be close to or smaller than the wavelength of electrons, the electrons are emitted through a tunneling effect, and additional energy in other forms is not needed.
At present, there are many researches on using low-dimensional nano materials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, silicon carbide, zinc oxide and the like and composites thereof as field emission cathodes, and the adopted cathode film preparation methods include screen printing, vacuum filtration, chemical vapor deposition, electrophoresis and the like, but the cost required by chemical vapor deposition is too high, which is not beneficial to the commercial application of field emission devices, and the screen printing, the vacuum filtration and other methods with lower cost are easy to make the cathode material fall on a substrate, so that the number of effective field emission points is rare, and the field emission performance is not very excellent, therefore, how to enhance the field emission performance from the material modification angle becomes a topic worthy of research. Researchers mostly adopt methods of improving the length-diameter ratio, enhancing the adsorption between the tip and the substrate, modifying a cathode material by using other material interfaces, reducing the work function and the like to improve the field emission performance of the cathode material. However, the field shielding effect has been an important factor limiting the field emission performance, and it is required to reduce the field shielding effect by removing a portion of the field emission sites that are not well adsorbed to the substrate.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to regulate and control a field emission point by using different types of adhesive tapes and changing parameters such as adhesive tape processing times and the like, and the adhesive tapes are more tightly attached to a field emission cathode film to be processed by using weights, so that the function of improving the field emission performance by adhesive tape processing is exerted to the maximum extent, and the aims of improving the cathode appearance, reducing the field shielding effect and finally improving the field emission performance are fulfilled. The invention adopts low-dimensional nano materials as cathode film materials, uses different types of adhesive tapes, changes the treatment times, and gives the optimal treatment times so as to enhance the field emission performance to the maximum extent.

(2) adhesive tape tearing treatment of cathode film
And uniformly and flatly sticking the treated adhesive tape to a field emission cathode film, wherein the cathode film comprises but is not limited to carbon nano tubes, graphene, silicon carbide, zinc oxide low-dimensional nano materials and composites thereof. And placing a weight of 50-1000 g to enable the adhesive tape to uniformly and flatly cover the field emission cathode film, and then taking off the adhesive tape.

After the tape treatment, the opening electric field of the field emission cathode device is reduced to 1.51-2.06V/mum from 2.39V/mum when the tape treatment is not carried out, and the threshold electric field is reduced to 1.71-2.59V/mum from 3.13V/mum when the tape treatment is not carried out.
