摘要
We compare the effects of O-2, CO2, N-2, H-2, and Ar residual gas exposure on the field emission (FE) properties of ZnO nanorods. In contrast to carbon nanotubes and Mo metal microtips, we find that O-2 and CO2 exposures do not significantly degrade the FE properties of ZnO nanorods. However, N-2 exposure significantly degrades the FE properties. We propose that this could be due to the dissociation of N-2 into atomic nitrogen species and the reaction of such species with ZnO. H-2 and Ar exposures are not observed to significantly degrade the FE properties.
