Abstract
Large-area, quasialigned nanotips of tungsten oxide have been grown by a two-step high-temperature, catalyst-free, physical evaporation deposition process. The tungsten oxide nanotips are single crystalline with growth direction of [010]. The tungsten oxide nanotips exhibit excellent field-emission properties with a low threshold field (for an emission current density of 10 mA cm2) ∼4.37 MVm and uniform emission from the entire arrays, as well as high time stability. These results make tungsten oxide nanotip arrays a competitive candidate for field-emission displays.
