Abstract :
The details are given of an experimental study of the growth process of aligned Cu/sub 2/S nanowire arrays with anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template by a gas-solid reaction. It was found that the template played an important role in the control growth with good alignment. The nanowire arrays had similar diameter (about 100 nm) and height (about 1 /spl mu/ m). Their electron field emission property was also measured. A turn-on field of 2.2 MV/m and a threshold-field of 8 MV/m were observed, respectively.
