研究目的
Investigating the enhancement of photoemission from carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays modified with gold nanoparticles through patterning and plasmon resonance effects.
研究成果
The research successfully improved the quantum efficiency of CNT photocathode via patterning process and modification with gold nanoparticles, achieving a maximum external quantum efficiency of 4.98 × 10-5. This confirms the potential of CNTs as a candidate for high stability and high quantum efficiency photocathodes.
研究不足
The study is limited by the specific conditions under which the photoemission was measured, including the laser wavelengths and power densities used. The applicability of the findings to other conditions or materials is not explored.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs the edge effect and localized surface plasmon resonance effect to enhance photoemission from CNT arrays modified with gold nanoparticles.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Patterned CNTs were grown on a patterned catalytic layer by chemical vapor deposition, and gold nanoparticles were formed by depositing a gold film on the CNTs followed by thermal annealing.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A layer of patterned Al/Fe catalyst layer, heavily doped n-type silicon wafer, ultra-thin alumina gasket, continuous wave laser at 660 nm, and pulsed femtosecond laser at 800 nm.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The photoemission performance was measured under laser irradiation in a high-vacuum chamber.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The emission current was measured as a function of bias voltage and laser power, and the quantum efficiency was calculated.
