Abstract
Field emission behavior of diamond-like carbon (DLC) and phosphorus-doped DLC (p-DLC) films prepared by electrochemical deposition process was comparatively investigated. It was shown phosphorus incorporation in the DLC film could lower the turn on field from 12 to 9.5V/μm and increase the current density from 12.6 to 45.7μA/mm2 under high electric field. And better field emission performance of p-DLC films would be mainly attributed to the influence of the surface morphology and the changes of microstructure due to the phosphorus incorporation.
