	abstract = {<p>We report first-principles DFT calculations of the single-layer VS2 work function, the experimental synthesis of flower-like few-layer-thick VS2 nanosheets by a simple one-step hydrothermal method, and the investigation of their field emission properties. The turn-on field required to draw emission current densities of 1 and 10 mu A/cm(2) were 4 and 5.01 V/mu m, respectively. The observed turn-on field values are attributed to the high field enhancement factor (ca. 2500), which is due to presence of sharp protrusions in the VS2 nanosheets. Furthermore, the field-emission current stability of the VS2 emitter shows stable behavior over a period of 12 h. Further, DFT calculations show that the work function (f) of the single-layer VS2 emitter is 6.01 eV.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>Herein we report field emission (FE) investigations on an electrochemically exfoliated few-layered black phosphorus nanosheet emitter at a base pressure of approximately 1x10(-8) mbar. The turn-on electric field required to draw an emission current density of approximately 10 A/cm(2) is found to be about 4.2 V/m. Furthermore, few-layered black phosphorus nanosheet emitters deliver an emission current density of about 170 A/cm(2) at an applied field of about 7.5 V/m. The emission current vs. time plot measured at preset current values of about 5 A shows emission current fluctuations within +/- 10\% of the average value, indicating the highly stable nature of the black phosphorus field emitter. Thus, the 2D black phosphorus nanosheets synthesized using the simple electrochemical exfoliation method can be utilized for micro/nanoelectronics and flat panel FE display applications.</p>},
