We investigated the effect of the degree of dispersion of tungsten oxide nanowires on their field emission properties. We patterned tungsten films with 1 Γ 1 lm 2 islands of various pitches (2, 5, 10, 20 and 30 lm) by electron beam lithography, sputtering and the lift-off technique, and then synthes

β¦ Synopsis
High-density, uniformly distributed and quasi-aligned tungsten oxide nanowire arrays have been synthesized by a conventional thermal evaporation approach on indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass substrates without any catalysts. The temperature of the substrate was 4502550 C. The tungsten oxide nanowires are single crystalline with growth direction of [0 1 0]. For commercial applications, field emission properties of tungsten oxide nanowires were studied under a poor vacuum at room temperature. The electron field-emission turn-on field Γ°E to Γ, defined as the macroscopic field required to produce a current density of 10 mA=cm 2 , is about 3:6 V=mm. The performance reveals that the tungsten oxide nanowire arrays can be served as a good candidate for commercial application in fieldemission displays.
