The effects of the field emission property in relation to the surface morphology and adhesion force were investigated. The single-wall-nanotube-based cathode was obtained by use of an in-situ arc discharge synthesis method, a screen-printing method and a spray method. The morphologies of the formed emitter layers were very different. The emission stability and uniformity were dramatically improved by employing an in-situ arc discharge synthesis method. In this study, it was confirmed that the current stability and uniformity of the field emission of the cathode depend on the surface morphology and adhesion force of the emitters. The current stability of the field emission device was also studied through an electrical aging process by varying the current and electric field.

In this paper, the slope adhesion force of the developed green slope soil was evaluated by simulating rainfall intensity. From the results, the slope failure didn't occur at all conditions. As the slope angle increases, however, the damage decreased. The developed green slope soil is considered to have sufficient adhesion capacity to the slope.
