Local structure and luminescence of nanocrystalline Y2O3:Eu
Nanosized Y2O3:Eu was synthesized by using a solution–combustion method. The samples were characterized by x-ray diffraction, extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), and photoluminescen...

Real-time determination of the segregation strength of indium atoms in InGaAs layers grown by molecular-beam epitaxy
The surface segregation of indium (In) atoms was investigated during the growth of InGaAs layers by reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED). We observed that the decay constant of the RHEE...

In this work, we examine the operation of individual field emitter cells contained in a field emitter array composed of integrally gated multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT)-based field emission cathodes. These devices were found to behave in a manner consistent with a multiple emission site model of Fowler–Nordheim field emission. These results show considerable variation in the operational characteristics of cells contained within the same array and indicate that data obtained from arrays of cells are not necessarily indicative of individual cell performance. ©2002 American Institute of Physics.
