Field Emission and Radial Distribution Function Studies of Fractal-like Amorphous Carbon Nanotips
The short-range order of individual fractal-like amorphous carbon nanotips was investigated by means of energy-filtered electron diffraction in a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The nanostructures were grown in porous silicon substrates in situ within the TEM by the electron beam-induced deposition method. The structure factor S(k) and the reduced radial distribution function G(r) were ...
متن کاملMAGNETISATION AND ELECTRON SPIN RESONANCE STUDIES OF TETRAHEDRAL AMORPHOUS CARBON
The magnetisation and electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrum of two specimens of tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C), deposited from a filtered cathodic arc, were measured over a wide temperature range. The magnetisation was found to consist of superparamagnetic, paramagnetic and diamagnetic contributions. The superparamagnetic contribution resembled that recently found in carbon prepared from ...
متن کاملRadial Distribution Function and Structural Relaxation in Amorphous Solids
A method of interpreting radial distribution functions (RDF) of amorphous metals is proposed in which the role of the local atomic structure is emphasized. It is found that the width and height of the peaks of the RDF are related to the second moment of the atomic-level hydrostatic stress distribution ⟨p2⟩. The results of this analysis are then used to explain the details of the changes that oc...
متن کاملElectron field emission properties of tetrahedral amorphous carbon films
The electron field emission of tetrahedral amorphous carbon ~ta-C! films deposited by filtered cathodic vacuum arc is reported. The ta-C films were found to have a threshold field ranging from 18 to 28 V mm, depending on the sp content. The nitrogenated ta-C ~ta-C:N! films show a lower threshold field of 12 V mm as compared to the ta-C films. The threshold field appears to be dependent on the f...
متن کاملRadial distribution function of rod-like polyelectrolytes.
We study the effect of electrostatic interactions on the distribution function of the end-to-end distance of a single polyelectrolyte chain in the rod-like limit. The extent to which the radial distribution function of a polyelectrolyte is reproduced by that of a wormlike chain with an adjusted effective persistence length is investigated. Strong evidence is found for a universal scaling formul...
