The carbon nanotubes (CNTs) doped MgB 2 bulks were sintered in the 5 T pulsed magnetic field at 800 ยฐC for 30 min. The critical temperature (T c ) is 36.3 K, a little higher than that of the bulks sintered without magnetic field, 35.7 K. The critical current density (J c ) shows anisotropy in high m

โฆ Synopsis
Effects of ion impinging on the microstructure and field electron emission properties of screen-printed carbon nanotube films were investigated. We observed that the plasma treatment modified the microstructure of CNTs along with the remarkable increase of emission site density. With the prolongation of ion impinging time, the emission current falls down first, and then rises up to higher than that of the untreated films. It is proposed that the change of emission characteristics is due to the different emission mechanisms. After the treatment, electrons are emitted predominantly from the nano-nodes on the tube wall instead from the nanotube tips.

The significant current degradation of the carbon nanotubes cathode was found in the presented work. This current instability came from the adsorption desorption processes on the cathode surface. During the long-time tests the periodical changing of the cathode electron work function was shown. The
