Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were synthesized using a hot filament assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD) at the atmospheric pressure at a substrate temperature of 550 C. The size of nanotubes was controlled by changing the size of catalyst particles. The structure and composition of these nanotubes were investigated using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. The electron field emission current of MWNTs was also measured. It was found that the nanotubes with smaller the diameter had higher the emission current levels though synthesis conditions except catalyst particles were the same. These as-grown MWNTs had emission current densities of 6.5 mA/cm(2) and 2.5 mA/cm(2) at 1 V/mu m for 5-8 nm and 20 nm size carbon nanotube samples, respectively. The results indicated that the MWNTs synthesized had low emission threshold voltages and high emission current levels that are favorable properties for field emission-based display device applications.
