Abstract

Electron Field Emission at atmospheric pressure from films of palladium oxide (PdO) nanoparticles is demonstrated. PdO nanoparticles with average height of 9-45nm were grown on silicon substrates by oxidizing film of Pd nanoparticles. The field emission current was measured in a parallel plate diode configuration structure with 1μm of separation between cathode and anode. The current-voltage characteristics of the structure were measured with voltages between ±100V. The electrical current of the structure without film of nanoemitters was 4 nA at 100V, the maximum current measured with films of PdO nanoemitters was of 1μA at the same voltage.
