Modeling and calculation of nanostructural field emission diode characteristics

A porous anodic alumina (AA) with a regular nanoporous structure, formed naturally (without processes of submicron lithography) is a cheap and unique basis for manufacturing nanoscale field emission devices. This work illustrates the results of modeling and calculation of I-V characteristics of a nanostructural field emission diode (FED) consisting of a regular array of uniform cylindrically shaped diode cells, the outer diameter of which is equal to that of oxide cells (OCs) of AA, and their packing density corresponds to that of OCs.
