An electron-emitting device has a pair of device electrodes and an electroconductive thin film including an electron emitting region arranged between the electrodes. The device is manufactured via an activation process for increasing the emission current of the device. The activation process includes steps of a) applying a voltage (Vact) to the electroconductive thin film having a gap section under initial conditions, b) detecting the electric performance of the electroconductive thin film and c) modifying, if necessary, the initial conditions as a function of the detected electric performance of the electroconductive thin film.

An electron-emitting device having an electroconductive film including an electron-emitting region and arranged between a pair of electrodes is manufactured by forming an electroconductive film on a substrate and producing an electron-emitting region in the electroconductive film. The electroconductive film is formed on the substrate by heating the substrate in an atmosphere containing a gasified organic metal compound to a temperature higher than the decomposition of the gasified organic metal compound.

A method of transferring Bloch lines present in a domain wall of a magnetic domain formed in a thin magnetic firm, includes cyclically forming asymmetrical potential wells along the domain wall in order to locate the Bloch lines at predetermined positions of the domain wall, and applying a pulsed magnetic film to shift the Bloch lines from a predetermined potential well to another potential well. In a magnetic memory for recording information using Bloch lines as an information carrier, a memory substrate has a stripe magnetic domain defined by a domain wall along which asymmetrical potential wells are cyclically formed to stabilize the Bloch lines along the domain wall. The Bloch lines are written in the domain wall in accordance with input information, the Bloch lines so formed are read out, and the read-out Bloch lines are converted into an electrical signal. A pulsed magnetic field is applied in a direction perpendicular to a surface of the memory substrate for shifting the Bloch lines between potential wells.
