Popis: For field emitters as a cathode of traveling wave tube–microwave power amplifiers (TWT–MPA), field-emission (FE) properties of in situ grown carbon nanotubes (CNTs) onto electrically conducting substrate were systematically characterized. CNTs grown on the Co/TiN coated Ta substrate with properly controlled process exhibited the best FE property. The maximum current density and corresponding total emission current were 3.5 mA/cm 2 and ∼1.7 mA at 21.6 V/μm, respectively. Details on the correlation between the FE properties and the morphological parameters will be discussed.
