    • Developing High-Brightness Electron Beam Sources for Producing Quantum Degenerate Electron Beams 
      Kohler, Jonathan (Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2011-04)
      The Pauli Exclusion Principle places a fundamental limit on the brightness of an electron beam. Developing a cathode which can reach this limit is useful for achieving maximum operation in current applications of ...
    • Electron field emission in nanostructures: A first-principles study 
      Driscoll, Joseph Andrew (2011-03-21)
      Department: Physics
      This dissertation presents the study of electron field emission from nanostructures using a first-principles computational framework. Field emission is studied under various conditions such as laser illumination, spin ...
    • Micropatterned Diamond Vacuum Field Emission Devices 
      Wisitsoraat, Anurat (2003-02-20)
      Department: Electrical Engineering
      Chemical vapor deposited (CVD) diamond or related carbon materials are excellent materials for electron field emitters. However, the key factor to successful exploitation of CVD diamond for vacuum microelectronic applications ...
    • TEM Study of Nanostructured Cold Cathode Diamond Field Emitter Tips 
      Wade, Travis Charles (2011-10-25)
      Department: Interdisciplinary Materials Science
      This dissertation furthers the understanding of diamond as a material for cold cathode field emission. Although diamond has proven to be an excellent emitter with orders of magnitude more current at lower fields than ...
