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>10aDensity functional calculations10afield emission10aLayered compounds10aNanostructures10aSulfur10aVanadium1 aRout, Chandra, Sekhar1 aKhare, Ruchita, T.1 aKashid, Ranjit, V.1 aJoag, Dilip, S.1 aMore, Mahendra, A.1 aLanzillo, Nicholas, A.1 aWashington, Morris1 aNayak, Saroj, K.1 aLate, Dattatray, J.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/metallic-few-layer-flowerlike-vs2-nanosheets-field-emitters-001762nas a2200277   4500008004100000022001400041245006700055210006700122260008100189300001100270490000600281520085000287653003001137653001901167653001501186653001201201653001101213100002301224700002301247700002401270700002301294700001801317700002401335700002601359856009901385       2015                        eng d  a2053-159100aEnhanced electron field emission from NiCo2O4 nanosheet arrays0 aEnhanced electron field emission from NiCo2O4 nanosheet arrays  aTEMPLE CIRCUS, TEMPLE WAY, BRISTOL BS1 6BE, ENGLANDbIOP PUBLISHING LTDcSEP  a0950110 v23 a<p>Electron emission properties of electrodeposited spinel NiCo2O4 nanosheet arrays grown on Ni foam have been studied. The work function of NiCo2O4 was calculated by density functional theory using the plane-wave basis set and used to estimate the field enhancement factor. The NiCo2O4 nanosheet arrays exhibited a low turn-on field of 1.86 V mu m(-1) at 1 mu A cm(-2) and current density of 686 mu A cm(-2) at 3.2 V mu m(-1), with field enhancement factor beta = 1460 and good field emission current stability. The field emission properties of the NiCo2O4 nanosheet arrays showed enhanced performance compared to chemically prepared NiCo2O4 nanosheets. Hence, the nanosheet arrays have great potential as robust high performance vertical structure electron emitters for future flat panel displays and vacuum electronic device applications.</p>10aDensity functional theory10afield emission10ananosheets10aNiCo2O410aspinel1 aNaik, Kusha, Kumar1 aKhare, Ruchita, T.1 aGelamo, Rogerio, V.1 aMore, Mahendra, A.1 aThapa, Ranjit1 aLate, Dattatray, J.1 aRout, Chandra, Sekhar  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/enhanced-electron-field-emission-nico2o4-nanosheet-arrays-1
