摘要
Field emission studies of WO2.72 nanowires synthesized by a solvothermal method have been performed in the planar diode configuration under ultra high vacuum conditions. Fowler-Nordheim plots obtained from the current-voltage characteristics follow the quantum mechanical tunneling process and a current density of similar to 8.3x10(6) mu A/cm(2) can be drawn at an applied electric field of 2 V/mu m. The field enhancement factor is 33025, while the turn-on field is only 1.4 V/mu m. The emission current-time plot recorded at the pre-set value of emission current of 1 mu A over a period of more than 3 h exhibits an initial increase and a subsequent stabilization of the emission current. The results reveal that the WO2.72 nanowire emitters synthesized by the solvothermal method are promising cathode materials for practical applications.
