Abstract: Low-voltage nonstationary electron emission from single-walled carbon nanotubes after the passage of high autoemission current has been observed. This emission is assumed to be exoelectron emission associated with mechanical stresses and defects appearing in nanotubes due to electrostatic forces acting on nanotubes in a strong electric field.
