Small-Sized Flat-Tip CNT Emitters for Miniaturized X-Ray Tubes
Figure 2
(a) Schematic diagram to display the fabrication process of a flat-tip CNT emitter. (b) Optical image of a CNT drop on a W tip surface. (c) SEM image of a fabricated flat-tip CNT emitter. Inset: the magnified SEM image of the surface of the emitter. (d) Characterization of the electron beam diameter at the anode position using the emitter shown in (c) and a phosphorous screen.
