摘要: Abstract Mo-coating on Si-substrate is observed to significantly improve the formation kinetics of diamond nuclei and growth behavior ultra-nanocrystalline (UNCD) films. Contrary phenomenon that are only scarcely formed bare Si-substrates leading incomplete coverage UNCD grains, (and grains) found cover whole surface Mo-coated Si-substrates. While markedly enhances nucleation diamonds, it degrades electron field emission (EFE) properties It attributed conversion conducting Mo-metallic film into a resistive Mo 2 C layer during microwave plasma CVD process. A sufficiently thick Mo-layer enhance while minimizing deleterious effect their EFE with an improved turn-on-field 13 V/μm current density 55 μA/cm at applied 30 V/μm.
