Abstract
The preparation and use of diamond as an electron emission material is disclosed. Satisfactory measurements were conducted on diamond coatings deposited on WC-Co alloy by a multiple pulsed laser process. The electron emission was measured in a diode configuration with a diamond surface-anode spacing of 20 and 50 &mgr;m in vacuum at P=10,Torr. Current densities of 6 mA/cm were calculated at an applied of voltage of 3000 V (for 20 &mgr;m). Analysis proved that electron field emission provided by a diamond grown by a multiple pulsed laser process proved to satisfactorily meet the specified demands.
