This thesis presents the systematic study of the interaction between Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWNTs) and charged particles, in the presence of strong electric fields. MWNTs were energized by applying a strong Direct Current (DC) bias in order to recruit charged particles from a glow discharge. The MWNTs acted both as electrodes and as charged particle sinks by sustaining a glow discharge either locally on the MWNT-covered sample surface, or remotely via a capacitively coupled radio-frequency (RF) glow discharge. The intention of the work was to develop a holistic description of the degradation mechanism of MWNTs under charged particle bombardment, with specific explanations for the roles of ion bombardment, electron bombardment, and p...
