The zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires with different morphology and diameter were synthesized on silicon (100) substrates by heating pure zinc powder at low temperatures of 450 °C and 480 °C. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to analyze the morphology and diameter of samples. The electron field emission properties between different morphology of ZnO nanowires samples were compared. A low turn-on field at 3.6 V/μm was observed from nanorods due to better alignment, and a strong emission current density of 3.6 mA/cm2 at electronic field 9.0V/μm was obtained from needle-like nanowires sample. The emission stability of ZnO samples is also presented. |
