Ultrahigh secondary electron emission of carbon nanotubes

摘要

The secondary electron emission of the tube bodies of single-walled carbon nanotubes is found tonbe ultrahigh and comparable with that of diamond, when the nanotubes are connected with electronnreservoir. Both of semiconducting and metallic nanotubes possess this property. © 2010 AmericannInstitute of Physics. u0004doi:10.1063/1.3442491
