We have demonstrated the growth of Au- and Ag-incorporated carbon nanofibers (CNFs) at room temperature by Ar+ bombardment on graphite surfaces with simultaneous Au and Ag supply. The evolution of their morphology and its effects on field emission properties were investigated. The structure and dens...
