摘要
Tungsten oxide W18O49 nanorods with diameters of 15-20 nm were grown on tungsten thin films exposed to ethene and nitrogen at 700 degrees C at atmospheric pressure. It was found that tungsten carbide formation enhances nucleation and growth of nanorods. Atmospheric pressure field emission measurements in air showed a turn-on field of 3.3 V/mu m and stable and reproducible emission current density (28 mA/cm(2)). At low current densities (<20 mA/cm(2)), the field emission current follows the Fowler-Nordheim model; saturation effects were observed above 20 mA/cm(2).
