Abstract

A new multi-emitter field ion source based on a nanostructural carbon-based composite has been developed. The coefficient of electric field enhancement at the emitter surface reaches 6.5 × 104. The emitter surface shaped by means of low-temperature field evaporation ensures a substantially increased homogeneity of the field ion emission.
