Abstract: The emissive properties of an iridium-based point emitter with various forms of carbon (chemisorbed species, two-dimensional graphite structures) and cesium atoms adsorbed on the surface has been studied by the field-electron emission microscopy (FEM) and field-desorption microscopy (FDM) techniques. The FEE and FDM images of the emitter surface corresponding to various phase states of carbon have been obtained. It is established that two-dimensional graphite structures grow predominantly in the regions of (100) and (111) faces of iridium.
