Nickel silicide nanowire arrays have been achieved by the decomposition of SiH(4) on Ni foil at 650 °C. It is indicated that the nickel silicide nanowires consist of roots with diameter of about 100-200 nm and tips with diameter of about 10-50 nm. A Ni diffusion controlled mechanism is proposed to explain the formation of the nickel silicide nanowires. Field emission measurement shows that the turn-on field of the nickel silicide nanowire arrays is low, at about 3.7 V µm(-1), and the field enhancement factor is as high as 4280, so the arrays have promising applications as emitters.
通过在650°C下使SiH₄在镍箔上分解,制备出了硅化镍纳米线阵列。结果表明,硅化镍纳米线由直径约为100 - 200nm的根部和直径约为10 - 50nm的尖端组成。提出了一种镍扩散控制机制来解释硅化镍纳米线的形成。场发射测量表明,硅化镍纳米线阵列的开启场很低,约为3.7V µm⁻¹,场增强因子高达4280,因此该阵列作为发射极具有广阔的应用前景。
