Fabrication of In-doped SnO2nanowire arrays and its field emission investigations

Abstract: The field emission of In-doped SnO 2 wire array has been performed in parallel plate diode configuration. A maximum current density of 60 mA/cm 2 is drawn from the emitter at an applied field of 4 V/mm. The nonlinearity in the Fowler-Nordheim plot, characteristics of semiconductor emitter has been observed and explained on the basis of electron emission from both the conduction and the valence bands. The current stability recorded at a preset value of 1 mA is observed to be good. The high emission current dens… Show more

“…In addition to that, aligned SnO 2 nanowire arrays, due to their good electrical conductivity, have been considered for field emission applications. Entangled In 2 O 3 nanowires, 334 cone shaped nanorods 335 or even nanobelt structures 336 were also used for this purpose. Turn on fields in cold cathode field emission for In 2 O 3 nanowires were 2 to 3 V mm À1 with a couple of hours stable emission currents with minimal fluctuations.…”

“…Nanowires, needles shape, nanopyramids, and others have been widely investigated and studied in terms of their field emission features; Bhise et al . have for example extensively demonstrated efficient field emission properties for SnO 2 nanowires with different types of doping (Sb, RuO 2, Fe, In), both in terms of emission from a single structure as well as from ordered arrays.…”

“…This material has been mainly studied for gas sensing applications. Our group has shown the field emission properties of RuO 2 -doped SnO 2 (RuO 2 :SnO 2 ) and In, Sb-doped SnO 2 wires, both as a bunch and as an isolated single wire. Our work has shown that SnO 2 is an attractive material for field emission particularly for high current density applications. Some heterostructures of SnO 2 in combination with other oxide-semiconductors like ZnO have been recently reported. However, the field emission properties of these heterostructures have not been investigated.…”
