Well-aligned SiC nanowire arrays are successfully synthesized on carbon cloth by a facile chemical vapor deposition without using any templates. Such nanowire arrays acting as cold electron emitters exhibit excellent field emission performance with very low turn-on and threshold voltages of 1.3 V μm...
