Crystalline nano-structures of Ga2O3 with herringbone morphology
نویسندگان
چکیده
Highly crystalline b-Ga2O3 nanowires with two morphologies have been synthesized through physical evaporation of Te doped GaAs powder in Ar atmosphere. Growth is not based on VLS mechanism due to absence of Te. S in place of Te resulted in similar nanostructures. Some of the nanowires exhibit herringbone morphology with presence of hexagonal crystallites in regular spacing along the nanowire axis. The crystal planes of the nanowires were found to be parallel to one of the facets of the crystallites implying these crystallites may serve as the nucleation centers for the growth. Other dominant nanowire morphology is single crystalline nanoribbons. 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Gallium oxide (Ga2O3) nanorods were facilely prepared by a simple hydrothermal synthesis, and their morphology and photocatalytic property were studied. The gallium oxide hydroxide (GaOOH) nanorods were formed in aqueous growth solution containing gallium nitrate and ammonium hydroxide at 95 °C of growth temperature. Through the calcination treatment at 500 and 1000 °C for 3 h, the GaOOH nanoro...
