Problems solved by technology

However, as a carbon nanotube bundle that can form an aligned array structure, the aspect ratio of the currently controllable prepared aligned carbon nanotube array bundle cathode material is usually less than 2:1, such as the cathode carbon nanotube array bundle in a modular array with a length of 50 μm. The diameter can only be as small as 25 μm, and the diameter of the cathode carbon nanotube array bundle in the 300 μm length modular array can only be as small as 150 μm
The structure of such modular carbon nanotube array bundles limits its application in high-performance vacuum electronic devices

Abstract

The invention belongs to the crossing field of nano new materials and vacuum electronic technologies, and particularly relates to a carbon nanotube array beam with an adjustable length-diameter ratioand a preparation method thereof. The carbon nanotube array beam is mainly used in vacuum electronic radiation source devices or devices generating high-current and high-current-density electron beams, and can also be used for other purposes. According to the invention, the field emission characteristic of a carbon nanotube array and a precise control laser etching technology are utilized, micro-beam laser etching is carried out on an oriented carbon nanotube array film to realize processing of modular oriented carbon nanotube array beams with different length-diameter ratios and different beam diameters, and micro-nano manipulation transfer is utilized to process the array beams into field electron emitters with excellent field emission performance and different cathode sizes. Through thecarbon nanotube array film and laser etching processing, the processing of the modular oriented carbon nanotube array beams with different length-diameter ratios and beam diameters is realized, and the application field of the one-dimensional nano material is expanded.

Background technique [0002] The structural particularity of carbon nanotubes makes them have some unique physical and chemical properties. Theory predicts that the strength of carbon nanotubes is about 100 times that of steel, while the density is only 1 / 6 of that of steel, and it has good toughness. However, the carbon nanotubes with the structural characteristics of smaller diameter and longer axial length, its high aspect ratio morphology is conducive to achieving a greater electric field enhancement effect at the tip, so as t...
