Abstract

We present the finding of experiments of considerable field emission from the films consisting of nanotube carbon structureson various substrates (Si, quartz, glass): density of emission current was up to 1-3 A/cm2 while electric field was about 100 V/μ. The “reconstruction” and “inversion” of field emission have also been observed after current breakdown.
