Abstract

- The field emission of pure carbon, coke-pitch compositions and commercial graphites are studied.
- Ion bombardment changes cathode properties, surface relief and surface layer electron structure.
- Ion bombardment results in generation of diamond-like nanoclusters with sp3-hybridization.
- Different modes for operation of carbon cathode may cause degradation or recovery of emission.
