Parallel Plasma Field Directed Sputter Sharpening of Field Emitters
Many of the current methods to sharpen field emitters are time consuming and can only process one field emitter at a time. In this thesis, a method is proposed to parallel process multiple field emitters using a DC glow discharge plasma as the ion source in conjunction with field directed sputter …

Scanning tunneling microscopy studies of fluorinated graphene films and field-directed sputter sharpening
… structure. Furthermore, we develop the novel field-directed sputter sharpening (FDSS) technique for producing sharp metal probes with 1 – 5 nm radii of curvature, a prerequisite for high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) imaging and nanolithography. We show that FDSS offers …
