Spectral analysis of the emission current noise exhibited by few layer WS2 nanosheets emitter.

Spectral analysis of the field emission (FE) current fluctuations has been carried out at the base pressure ~1×10(-8) mbar. The emission current stability investigated at preset value of 2 µA is characterized by 'step' like fluctuation. The spectral analysis performed on a FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) analyzer revealed that the observed noise is of 1/fα type, with the value of α as ~1.

Vapor-liquid-solid growth of one-dimensional tin sulfide (SnS) nanostructures with promising field emission behavior.

Single-crystalline ultralong tin sulfide (SnS) nanowires has been grown by a thermal evaporation technique under optimized conditions on gold-coated silicon substrates, and for the first time, field emission investigations on the SnS nanowires at the base pressure of 1 × 10(-8) mbar are reported. It has been revealed that the surface morphology of the as-synthesized SnS nanostructures is significantly influenced by the deposition temperature and duration. Structural and morphological analyses of as-synthesized SnS nanostructures have been carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
