Abstract :
This paper investigates the field emission phenomenon of various nanowires and nanorods. The materials of particular interest include Mo and W and their oxides, SiC and ZnO. Different novel techniques are developed for large-area nanowire synthesis like thermal evaporation, thermal heating and by solid-gas interaction at room temperature
