The laser processed GdB6 pellet was characterized by X-ray diffraction, which revealed no change in phase upon laser processing. The values of the turn-on field required to draw emission current density of 1 mu A/cm(2) is found to be similar to 2.95 V/mu m, for the laser processed GdB6 emitter. Furthermore, the Fowler-Nordheim (F-N) plot exhibits non-linear behavior over the entire range of applied field and the field enhancement factor (beta) calculated from slope of the F-N plot (low field region) was found to be similar to 543. The emission current stability over a period of 3h was observed to be fairly good. The observed results demonstrate that laser processing can be efficiently used to make GdB6 nanostructure emitter having potential for practical applications.</p>1 aSuryawanshi, S., R.1 aLate, Dattatray, J.1 aMore, Mahendra, A.1 aSingh, Anil, K.1 aSinha, S.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/synthesis-gdb6-nanostructures-using-nanosecond-nd-yag-laser-field-emission-investigation
