Evolution of field emission pattern of few-layer graphene with different edge morphology

Field electron emission patterns emitted from few-layer graphene with different edge morphology were investigated using field emission microscopy (FEM). The FEM image of few-layer graphene was observed as a “lantern”, which is composed of light and dark fringes. The relationship between graphene edge morphology and field emission pattern was investigated using a emission electron spatial interference model based on the superposition principle of the emission electron.
