Abstract;Carbon coils of nanometer-scale size have been synthesized in high yield by catalytic thermal chemical vapor deposition. The carbon nanocoils grow selectively from the patterned iron film and maintain their self-organization well. Using the patterned carbon nanocoil array, we have prepared the first carbon nanocoil field emitter and investigated its properties of field emission. It is found that the turn-on field is as low as 180 V at a 130 .MU.m gap. High emission current density, excellent stability and uniformity of the field emission from carbon nanocoils have been observed. These properties suggest that the carbon nanocoils is an attractive candidate for the fabrication of flat panel display. (author abst.)
