Low temperature (350 °C) grown conductive nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) films were realized by lithium diffusion from Cr-coated lithium niobate substrates (Cr/LNO). The NCD/Cr/LNO films showed a low resistivity of 0.01 Ω·cm and excellent field electron emission characteristics, viz. a low turn-on field of 2.3 V/µm, a high-current density of 11.0 mA/cm2 (at 4.9 V/m), a large field enhancement factor of 1670, and a life-time stability of 445 min (at 3.0 mA/cm2). The low temperature deposition process combined with the excellent electrical characteristics offers a new prospective for applications based on temperature sensitive materials.

Large-scale PrB6 nanowires were fabricated by an effective, catalyst-free, and a simple low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) process. These nanowires, characterized in detail by various analytical instruments, demonstrated the large aspect ratio and high single-crystalline grown along the [001] crystal direction perpendicular to the (001) crystal plane. The field electron emission equipment tests manifest that the asgrown PrB6 products have a low turn-on field (Eto, 2.32 V/μm), a threshold field (Ethr, 4.28 V/μm), a high field enhancement factor (β, 2336), as well as a stable current-density (J) of field-emission. The relationships of the field electron emission parameters, such as J, Eto, and β versus cathode gap (d), have been established when d is increased from 500 μm to 800 μm. The outstanding properties suggest that the PrB6 products may be promising emitters in the cold-field-emission cathode application.
