【 摘 要 】

The effect of plasma compositions (i.e., different concentration of participating ions) on growth, structure and field emission properties of spherical Carbon Nanotube (CNT) tip has been theoretically investigated. In plasma, two different kinds of positively charged ions with heavy to light ion mass ratio of 11.5 are considered and the effect of the different fractional concentrations of participating ions on the growth and field emission properties of CNT is studied. Numerical calculations of the radius of spherical CNT tip for different fractional light ion concentrations have been carried out for the typical glow discharge plasma parameters. It is found that on increasing fractional light ion concentration, the radius of spherical CNT tip decreases and consequently the field emission factor for spherical CNT tip increases.
