Thermal-enhanced field emission from CuO nanowires due to defect-induced localized states

The temperature dependence of the field emission properties of CuO nanowires was studied from 163 to 453 K. Large current increases were observed with increasing temperature, which cannot be explained by band to band excitation or emission from the valence band. Two distinct sections were observed f...
