Field emission measurement showed a fairly low threshold voltage of 1.5 V/μm with a current density of 1 μA/cm2. The field enhancement factor was determined to be 4400. The emitter showed resilience when exploited as a high voltage electron source for x-ray generation. The x-ray generated by the flexible emitter is capable of delivering fine images of biological samples with superior sharpness, resolution, and contrast., application/pdf}, pages = {103105-1--103105-3}, title = {X-ray generation using carbon-nanofiber-based flexible field emitters}, volume = {88}, year = {2006} }
