摘要
Field emission properties of randomly distributed copper nanowires are presented. The wires were potentiostatically deposited into the pores of polycarbonate membranes produced by the ion-track etch technique. The diameter and length of the vertically aligned wires with number densities between 10(6) and 10(8) wires/cm(2) were in the range of 210-330 nm and 8-18 mu m, respectively. By means of field emission scanning microscopy, emission site densities between 0.4 x 10(5) cm(-2) and 1.4 x 10(5) cm(-2) were obtained for nA currents at 6 V/mu m. Two-thirds of the nanowire emitters showed Fowler-Nordheim behaviour with an average field enhancement factor of beta = 245, which is about three times higher than expected for a cylindrical wire geometry with a half-sphere tip.
