For the as-fabricated SnO2 nanowires the turn-on and threshold field were and V m respectively. Considerable enhancement of field emission of SnO2 nanowires was obtained by a post-annealing process in oxygen at high temperature. When the SnO2 nanowires were postannealed at 1 000 C in oxygen the turn-on and threshold field were decreased to and V m respectively and the current density was increased to from mA cm2 at the same applied electric field of V m.
