Abstract

Single crystalline molybdenum vanadate nanowires (MoV2O8) were grown on silicon substrates by a simple thermal annealing of spin coa ted film in the air. The nanowires grown by this method have an average diameter of 100 nm and length between 1 5μm. The nanowires show decent field emission current densities with a turn on field of ~1.9 V/μm and good emission stability. The four termina l electrical resistivity of a single nanowire was measured to be 70 Ωcm . Thus, we expect that MoV2O8 will be useful as material for future field emitters..
