Silicon Nanowires (SiNWs) are being studied for a wide variety of applications in nanoscience with significant progress in their integration into devices such as transistors, solar cells, photodectors, chemical sensors, etc. [1]. However there has been much less work on field emission (FE) even though their semiconducting properties open distinct possibilities compared to metallic emitters and carbon...
