Field emission from in situ-grown vertically aligned SnO(2 )nanowire arrays

Vertically aligned SnO(2 )nanowire arrays have been in situ fabricated on a silicon substrate via thermal evaporation method in the presence of a Pt catalyst. The field emission properties of the SnO(2 )nanowire arrays have been investigated. Low turn-on fields of 1.6 to 2.8 V/μm were obtained at an...

description Vertically aligned SnO(2 )nanowire arrays have been in situ fabricated on a silicon substrate via thermal evaporation method in the presence of a Pt catalyst. The field emission properties of the SnO(2 )nanowire arrays have been investigated. Low turn-on fields of 1.6 to 2.8 V/μm were obtained at anode-cathode separations of 100 to 200 μm. The current density fluctuation was lower than 5% during a 120-min stability test measured at a fixed applied electric field of 5 V/μm. The favorable field-emission performance indicates that the fabricated SnO(2 )nanowire arrays are promising candidates as field emitters.
