Popis: We study the electrical transport in back-gate field-effect transistors with ultrathin palladium diselenide (PdSe2) channel. The devices are normally-on and exhibit dominant n-type conduction at low pressure. The electron conduction, combined with the sharp edge and the workfunction decreasing with the number of layers, opens the way to applications of PdSe2 nanosheets in vacuum electronics. In this work, we demonstrate field emission from few-layer PdSe2 nanosheets with current up to the uA and turn-on field below 100 V/um, thus extending the plethora of applications of this recently isolated pentagonal layered material.
