Nickel　substrate　layer　was　prepared　by　using　electroless　plating　method.　CNT　film　was　directly　grown　on　such　substrate　by　pyrolysis　of　iron　Phthalocyanine　(FePc).　The　intense　pulsed　emission　characteristics　were　measured　with　a　diode　structure.　When　the　peak　value　of　pulsed　evenly　applied　electric　field　was　set　at　∼11.6　V/μm,　the　peak　current　and　current　density　are　∼200　A　and　10.2　A/cm2,　respectively　and　the　corresponding　turn-on　field　is　∼4.8　V/μm.　The　peak　current　and　current　density　at　a　pulsed　macro　electric　field　with　a　peak　value　of　∼13.5　V/μm　are　∼1253　A　and　63.8　A/cm2respectively,　with　a　turn-on　field　∼1.8　V/μm.　According　to　the　wave　curves,　the　emission　behavior　should　be　considered　as　intense　pulsed　field　emission.　©　2012　WILEY-VCH　Verlag　GmbH　&　Co.　KGaA,　Weinheim.
