TEM investigation of nucleation and initial growth of ZnSe nanowires
Single crystalline ZnSe nanowires were fabricated on GaAs substrates by molecular beam epitaxy technique via Au-catalyzed vapor-liquid-solid reaction. The nucleation and initial growth of the nanowires were investigated by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. It was revealed that Au catalysts initially reacted with the substrate forming binary AuGa2 alloy droplets. The sizes of the...
متن کاملInitial Growth of Single-Crystalline Nanowires: From 3D Nucleation to 2D Growth
The initial growth stage of the single-crystalline Sb and Co nanowires with preferential orientation was studied, which were synthesized in porous anodic alumina membranes by the pulsed electrodeposition technique. It was revealed that the initial growth of the nanowires is a three-dimensional nucleation process, and then gradually transforms to two-dimensional growth via progressive nucleation...
متن کاملVapor–Liquid–Solid Growth of Semiconductor Nanowires
Nanowires make possible to manipulate light in novel methods and thus are promising materials for advanced optoelectronics. To exploit the potential, the growth behavior has to be controlled since it dominates the physical and chemical states and, in turn, the optical properties of nanowires. In this chapter, the vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) mechanism for the growth and modulation of nanowires was ...
متن کاملNucleation and growth of Si nanowires from silicon oxide
Nucleation and growth of Si nanowires by laser ablation and thermal evaporation of Si powder sources mixed with SiO2 have been investigated by means of transmission electron microscopy. At the initial nucleation stage, Si oxide vapor condensed on the substrate and formed Si nanoparticles ~the nuclei of nanowires!. Each Si nanowire nucleus consisted of a polycrystalline Si core containing a high...
متن کاملNucleation control for the growth of vertically aligned GaN nanowires
Aligned GaN nanowire arrays have high potentials for applications in future electronic and optoelectronic devices. In this study, the growth of GaN nanowire arrays with high degree of vertical alignment was attempted by plasma-enhanced CVD on the c-plane GaN substrate. We found that the lattice matching between the substrate and the nanowire is essential for the growth of vertically aligned GaN...
