In this paper, optical performance of CFEs fabricated from carbon nanotubes and tungsten single crystal is presented. A cold field emitter (CFE) source, which operates at room temperatures or lower, is shown to have better performance over the high temperature Schottky emitter source. Electron emission mainly due to electron tunneling at low temperatures in the cold field emission mode offers a low...
