In this paper, field emission from ZnO was studied by morphological and electronic design. By fabricating ZnO into nanopin structure with sharp tip, we can obtain low threshold and high emission current density. By doping ZnO with gallium, we can lift up the Fermi level and increase the conductivity to enhance the field emission. The fabrication of nanostructures and analysis of field emission will be discussed.

Electrochemical synthesis of Polypyrrole (PPy) thin films on Sn substrates has been carried out under cyclic voltammetry (CV) mode. The structural, morphological and chemical properties of the as-synthesized PPy films were investigated using various characterization techniques like SEM, UV-Visible and FTIR. Furthermore, field emission (FE) behaviour of the PPy thin film emitter were carried out at base pressure of ~ 1×10-8 mbar and found to be interesting. The threshold field, required to draw emission current density of 1 μA/cm2, is observed to be 0.90 V/μm and very high emission current density of 12.87 mA/cm2 has been drawn at applied field of ~ 2.8 V/μm. The emission current stability investigated at preset values of 1, 10 and 100 μA/cm2 is observed to be fairly good over duration of more than three hours. The simplicity of the synthesis route coupled with the capability to deliver very high emission current density at relatively lower applied field make the PPy thin field emitter as a potential candidate for practical applications in field emission based devices

Polypyrrole (PPy) nanostructures have been synthesized on indium doped tin oxide (ITO) substrates by a facile electrochemical route employing cyclic voltammetry (CV) mode. The morphology of the PPy thin films was observed to be influenced by the monomer concentration. Furthermore, FTIR revealed formation of electrically conducting state of PPy. Field emission investigations of the PPy nanostructures were carried out at base pressure of 1×10-8 mbar . The values of turn-on field, corresponding to emission current density of 1 μA/cm2 were observed to be 0.6, 1.0 and 1.2 V/μm for the PPy films characterized with rod-like, cauliflower and granular morphology, respectively. In case of PPy nanorods maximum current density of 1.2 mA/cm2 has been drawn at electric field of 1 V/μm. The low turn on field, extraction of very high emission current density at relatively lower applied field and good emission stability propose the PPy nanorods as a promising material for field emission based devices.

The three-dimensional hierarchical SrS/Bi2S3 heterostructures were synthesized by a template-free single-step hydrothermal method. The structural and morphological studies revealed the formation of a single crystalline orthorhombic heterostructure with rod-like morphologies possessing a high aspect ratio. The field emission properties of SrS/Bi2S3 nanorods were investigated. J–E and the Fowler–Nordheim (F–N) plot, as well as long-term field emission (FE) stability, were studied. SrS/Bi2S3 nanoflowers have enhanced the FE properties more than the virgin Bi2S3. The observed values of the re-producible turn-on field for SrS/Bi2S3 defined to draw an emission current density of ca. 1 µA/cm2 were found to be ca. 2.50 V/µm, and of the threshold field to draw a current density of ca. 10 µA/cm2 were found to be ca. 3.00 V/µm (without visible light illumination). A maximum emission current density of ca. 527 μA/cm2 was drawn without light and a current density of ca. 1078 μA/cm2 with light, which is higher than that of pristine Bi2S3.

Electroless Ni

ABSTRATECarbon nanotubes (CNTs) were grown by electroless Ni-P plated on silicon substrate in a microwave heating chemical vapor deposition (CVD) system with methane gas at 700 °C. The CNTs grown on Ni–P catalyst showed random orientation and small diameter around 15–30 nm. Field emission test results indicated that the Ni–P catalyzed-CNTs exhibited excellent field emission properties. The turn-on field was about 0.56 V/μm with an emission current density 10 μA/cm2 and the threshold field was 4.4 V/μm with an emission current density 10 mA/cm2. These excellent field emission properties may be attributed to the random orientation and small diameter of CNTs.

AbstractIn this paper, the field emission properties of nano-diamond films were investigated by measuring the curves of emission current density (J) versus applied electric field (E). The nano-diamond films were prepared on n-type (100) silicon substrate by microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (MPECVD) technique using a gas mixture of nitrogen-methane-hydrogen. Field emission results show that, with increasing hydrogen gas flow ratio of [H2]/[N2+CH4+H2] from 0 to 10 %, diamond grain size increases from 5 to 60 nm, threshold electric field for electron field emission increases from 1.2 to 5.75 V/μm, and emission current density decreases from 820 to 560 μA/cm2, demonstrating that small grain size nano-diamond films are promising as a cathode material for low-field electron emitters.
