Multi-wall carbon nanotube (CNT) films were fabricated by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition at low temperatures (∼ 500 °C). The films when properly post-treated by laser irradiation exhibited a factor of 2–3 enhancement in the emission current, while the turn-on field (Eon) was reduced from 4.89–5.22 to 2.88–3.15 V/μm. The introduction of excessive oxygen during laser irradiation, however, degrades the performance of field emission properties drastically. Raman spectroscopy measurements revealed the intimate correlation between the parameter ID/IG (intensity ratio between the two representative Raman peaks seen in carbon nanotubes) and the field emission performance. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses showed that the irradiation-induced modification of the tube morphology and crystallinity might be responsible for the observations.
