表面形貌对定向氧化锌阵列场致发射性能的影响

采用热蒸发的方法生长不同形貌的ZnO纳米材料。通过调节反应温度和氧气流量，生长了梳状ZnO ，ZnO纳米针和ZnO纳米柱状。场致发射测试结果表明一维纳米ZnO材料的表明形貌对其开启电场和发射电流有很大的影响。ZnO纳米柱阵列的开启电场最低，电流密度最大。这是由于它与衬底的良好接触以及较弱的场屏蔽效应。实验结果表明ZnO纳米柱阵列是一种优良的场致发射器件的冷阴极材料。

Influence of morphologies on the field emission performance of oriented ZnO nano-arrays

Different morphologies of comb-like ZnO and oriented ZnO nano-arrays such as ZnO nanoneedles and ZnO nanorods were synthesized by using flexible thermal evaporation method via simply adjusting the temperature and oxygen content. The ZnO nanorods arrays have the lowest turn-on field, highest current density and the largest emission efficiency owning to its good contact with the substrate and relatively weaker field screening effects. The experiments show that the morphologies and orientation of one-dimensional (1D) ZnO nanomaterials have considerable effects on the turn-on field and the emission current density, and the nanoarray also contributes to electrons emission. The results could be valuable for the application of ZnO nanorod arrays as cathode materials in field emission based devices.
