The nonlinear Fowler-Nordheim (FN) plot is analyzed according to a model of calculation based on saturation of conduction band current and predominance of valence band current at high-field values. The simulated FN plot exhibits similar features to those observed experimentally. The model of calculation suggests that the slope variation of the FN plot, in the high-field and low-field regions, does not depend on the magnitude of saturation. Instead, it is a characteristic of the energy band structure and voltage-to-barrier-field conversion factor of the emitting material.</p>10afield emission10aFowler-Nordheim plot10aNanostructures10anonlinearity10aZnO1 aAl-Tabbakh, Ahmed, A.1 aMore, Mahendra, A.1 aJoag, Dilip, S.1 aMulla, Imtiaz, S.1 aPillai, Vijayamohanan, K.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/fowler-nordheim-plot-behavior-and-mechanism-field-electron-emission-zno-tetrapod-001962nas a2200217   4500008004100000022001400041245010300055210006900158260007500227300001600302490000700318520113200325653003001457653001301487653001901500653002201519653001701541100002401558700003001582856013201612       2012                        eng d  a0947-653900aElectrochemical preparation of luminescent graphene quantum dots from multiwalled carbon nanotubes0 aElectrochemical preparation of luminescent graphene quantum dots  aPOSTFACH 101161, 69451 WEINHEIM, GERMANYbWILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBHcSEP  a12522-125280 v183 a<p>Green luminescent, graphene quantum dots (GQDs) with a uniform size of 3, 5, and 8.2(+/- 0.3) nm in diameter were prepared electrochemically from MWCNTs in propylene carbonate by using LiClO4 at 90?degrees C, whereas similar particles of 23(+/- 2) nm were obtained at 30?degrees C under identical conditions. Both these sets of GQDs displayed a remarkable quantum efficiency of 6.3 and 5.1?%, respectively. This method offers a novel strategy to synthesise size-tunable GQDs as evidenced by multiple characterisation techniques like transmission and scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Photoluminescence of these GQDs can be tailored by size variation through a systematic change in key process parameters, like diameter of carbon nanotube, electric field, concentration of supporting electrolyte and temperature. GQDs are promising candidates for a variety of applications, such as biomarkers, nanoelectronic devices and chemosensors due to their unique features, like high photostability, biocompatibility, nontoxicity and tunable solubility in water.</p>10aelectrochemical synthesis10agraphene10aNanostructures10aphotoluminescence10aquantum dots1 aShinde, Dhanraj, B.1 aPillai, Vijayamohanan, K.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/electrochemical-preparation-luminescent-graphene-quantum-dots-multiwalled-carbon-nanotubes-0
