Local field emission of electrons from an individual boron nanowire at nanometer electrode separation

The field emission of individual β-rhombohedral boron nanowire was studied by ultrahigh vacuum four-probe scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) system for the first time. ► A reproducible and stable emission current is obtained, which is comparable to carbon nanotubes. ► The field emission properties...
