Fabrication and Field Emission Properties of In₂O₃ Nanorods

Abstract:

A new nanostructure, 1D In₂O₃ nanorod, have been grown on single silicon substrates by Au catalyst assisted thermal evaporation of In₂O₃ and active carbon powders. The morphology and structure of the prepared nanorods are determined on the basis of field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and x-ray diffraction (XRD). The field-emission properities of In₂O₃ nanorods have been measured and analysed. The growth mechanism of the In₂O₃ nanorods can be explained on the basis of the vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) processes.
