초록

Field emission mechanism of undoped polycrystalline diamond films with a different amount of nondiamond carbon has been investigated using a transparent anode imaging technique and an electrolytic decoration technique. It is confirmed that for the films with a large amount of nondiamond carbon, electron transport occurs mainly through conductive grain boundaries while for the films with a small amount of nondiamond carbon, electron transports preferentially through diamond surface.
