  • Fabrication and activation processes for nanostructure composite field emission cathodes
    Publication number: 20040108298
    Abstract: A method of forming an electron emitter includes the steps of: (i) forming a nanostructure-containing material; (ii) forming a mixture of nanostructure-containing material and a matrix material; (iii) depositing a layer of the mixture onto at least a portion of at least one surface of a substrate by electrophoretic deposition; (iv) sintering or melting the layer thereby forming a composite; and (v) electrochemically etching the composite to remove matrix material from a surface thereof, thereby exposing nanostructure-containing material.
