Abstract
After coating with a smooth, nonreactive, sputtered gold layer, previously nonemitting chemical vapor deposited diamond films are observed to emit electrons in an applied field of 30–50 kV/cm in an electron emission microscope. The gold overlayer increases the effective field strength applied to the film. The consequent dielectric breakdown of the film provides conductive channels for the observed electron emission.
