Al deposition significantly suppressed the fluctuations of emission current after a simple conditioning process. Interestingly, FEM images revealing the atomic detail of an Al cluster with the cubo-octahedron structure were observed. The discussion on the spatial resolution in FEM for MWNTs suggests the probable observation of some atomic structures with a resolution of the order of 0.3 nm.}, pages = {C2A5--C2A8}, title = {Field emission microscopy of Al-deposited carbon nanotubes: Emission stability improvement and image of an Al atom cluster}, volume = {28}, year = {2010} }
