Single-crystalline δ-Ni2Si nanowires with excellent physical properties

چکیده
In this article, we report the synthesis of single-crystalline nickel silicide nanowires (NWs) via chemical vapor deposition method using NiCl2·6H2O as a single-source precursor. Various morphologies of δ-Ni2Si NWs were successfully acquired by controlling the growth conditions. The growth mechanism of the δ-Ni2Si NWs was thoroughly discussed and identified with microscopy studies. Field emission measurements show a low turn-on field (4.12 V/μm), and magnetic property measurements show a classic ferromagnetic characteristic, which demonstrates promising potential applications for field emitters, magnetic storage, and biological cell separation.

Controlled growth of Si-based heterostructure nanowires and their structural and electrical properties
Ni-catalyzed Si-based heterostructure nanowires grown on crystal Si substrates by hot-wire chemical vapor deposition (HWCVD) were studied. The nanowires which included NiSi nanowires, NiSi/Si core-shell nanowires, and NiSi/SiC core-shell nanowires were grown by varying the filament temperature T f from 1150 to 1850 °C. At a T f of 1450 °C, the heterostructure nanowires were formed by crystallin...

We report single-crystalline mesoporous molybdenum nitride nanowires (meso-Mo3N2-NWs) prepared by topotactic reaction using single-crystalline molybdenum oxide nanowires. The single-crystalline nature of meso-Mo3N2-NWs was clearly observed by field-emission transmission electron microscopy. The meso-Mo3N2-NWs exhibited mesoporous structure with 45 m/g in specific surface area and 4.6 nm in aver...
