Nonlinear Fowler-Nordheim behavior of a single SnO2 nanowire
2017
The present work deals with the field emission study on multiple SnO2 nanowires synthesized by a simple thermal evaporation method. The randomly oriented multiple nanowires grown by the vapor-liquid-solid mechanism exhibit low turn on field (0.8 V/μm defined for the current density of 1 μA/cm2) and linear Fowler-Nordheim nature (FN). However, for the understanding of the nature of the FN plot, field emission behavior of a single SnO2 nanowire is investigated. The FN plot is observed to be nonlinear in nature. A simple model explaining the field emission mechanism from the semiconducting single SnO2 nanowire is proposed.
