Dr. Brian Holloway, Director of Contract Research for Luna Innovations’ nanoWorks division, has co-authored a paper titled “High field emission reproducibility and stability of carbon nanosheets and nanosheet-based backgated triode emission devices.” The report, published in the Oct. 30, 2006 issue of the peer-reviewed journal Applied Physics Letters, discusses field emission properties of carbon nanosheets and a nanosheet-based backgated triode emission device that has been developed to take advantage of the nanosheet field emission performance.


Holloway is formerly a tenured associate professor in the Department of Applied Science at The College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Va, where his research group patented carbon nanosheets, which have potential uses in sensors, fuel cells, batteries and medical devices. His group authored more than 10 papers on the nanosheets, including one that appeared in The Journal of Chemical Physics (issue May 21, 2006).
