Two types of FEM patterns were observed: one is a well-defined “pentagon” pattern that is typically observed for ordinal multiwall CNTs though the number of pentagons is five in the case of cone-shaped CNTs, and the other is a “dim” pattern that is usually observed for single-wall CNTs. Appearance voltages of the respective patterns and transmission electron microscopy study of the cone-shaped CNTs suggest that the pentagon patterns originate from CNTs with apex radii larger than approximately 2 nm while the dim patterns originate from those with the smaller apex radii.}, pages = {213108--213108}, title = {Field emission patterns from multiwall carbon nanotubes with a cone-shaped tip}, volume = {90}, year = {2007} }
