Optimizing the e-beam profile of a single carbon nanotube field emission device for electric propulsion systems
Preliminary studies on field emission (FE) arrays comprised of carbon nanotubes (CNT) as an electron source for electric propulsion system show remarkably promising results. Design parameters for a carbon nanotube (CNT) field-emission device operating on triode configuration were numerically simulat...
