Single Crystalline Semi-Nanotubes of Indium Germanate
Single crystalline In2Ge2O7 nanotubes were synthesized by a thermal evaporation method. The growth mechanism of those novel seminanotubular structures was explained to be a vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) mechanism. Its morphology and structures were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS)....
متن کاملSingle-crystalline germanium nanomembrane photodetectors on foreign nanocavities
Miniaturization of optoelectronic devices offers tremendous performance gain. As the volume of photoactive material decreases, optoelectronic performance improves, including the operation speed, the signal-to-noise ratio, and the internal quantum efficiency. Over the past decades, researchers have managed to reduce the volume of photoactive materials in solar cells and photodetectors by orders ...
متن کاملMetastable crystalline AuGe catalysts formed during isothermal germanium nanowire growth.
We observe the formation of metastable AuGe phases without quenching, during strictly isothermal nucleation and growth of Ge nanowires, using video-rate lattice-resolved environmental transmission electron microscopy. We explain the unexpected formation of these phases through a novel pathway involving changes in composition rather than temperature. The metastable catalyst has important implica...
متن کاملCvd Growth, Optical and Thermal Characterization of Vertically- Aligned Single-walled Carbon Nanotubes
Vertically aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes (VASWNTs) is expected to be an extra-ordinal material for various optical, electrical, energy, and thermal devices. The recent progress in growth control and characterization techniques will be discussed. The CVD growth mechanism of VA-SWNTs is discussed based on the in-situ growth monitoring by laser absorption during CVD. The growth curves are...
متن کاملSpatially resolved Raman spectroscopy on indium-catalyzed core-shell germanium nanowires: size effects.
The structure of indium-catalyzed germanium nanowires is investigated by atomic force microscopy, scanning confocal Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The nanowires are formed by a crystalline core and an amorphous shell. We find that the diameter of the crystalline core varies along the nanowire, down to few nanometers. Phonon confinement effects are observed in the regio...
