摘要：
Based upon the field-emission investigation of carbon nanotubes, several prototype devices have been suggested that operate with low swing voltages with sufficiently high current densities. Characteristics that allow improved current stability and long operating lifetime as electrical and opto-electronic devices are presented. The aim of this paper is to illustrate the useful characteristics of carbon nanotubes and their possible applications. (C) 2003 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
