ABSTRACT:
Doped and undoped polycrystalline and noncrystalline diamond films produced by plasma enhanced chemical transport emit electrons into a vacuum in response to an applied electrical field. The field required to create emission is less than 20 V/.mu.m for doped polycrystalline films, can be in the range of 5 to 8 volts/.mu.m for undoped nanocrystalline films and may be 3 volts/.mu.m or less for doped nanocrystalline films. These materials exhibit emission properties which are continuous across the whole surface of the film.
