چکیده

Elevated temperature synthesis has been used to generate virtually defect free SiO2 sheathed crystalline silicon nanowires and silica (SiO2) nanospheres which can be agglomerated to wire-like configurations impregnated with crystalline silicon. The SiO2 passivated ~sheathed! crystalline silicon nanowires, generated with a modified approach using a heated Si–SiO2 mix, with their axes parallel to ^111& are found to be virtually defect free. Modifications to the system allow the simultaneous formation of SiO2 nanospheres (d;10– 30 nm) as virtually monodisperse gram quantity powders which form large surface area catalysts for the selective conversion of ethanol to acetaldehyde. © 2000 American Institute of Physics. @S0003-6951~00!00717-8#

Nanowires fine tunable fabrication by varying the concentration ratios, the etchant and the plating spices in metal-assisted chemical etching of silicon wafer.

The metal-assisted chemical etching (MACE) was used to synthesis silicon nanowires. The effect of etchant concentration, etching and chemical plating time and doping density on silicon nanowires length were investigated. It is held that the increasing of HF and H2O2 concentrations lead to etching rate increment and formation of wire-like structure. The results show that, the appropriate ratio o...

Strong optical coupling between mutually orthogonal plasmon oscillations in a silver nanosphere-nanowire joined system.

A top-to-bottom joined system consisting of a silver nanowire and nanospheres was fabricated by embedding silver nanospheres on a glass or silicon substrate on which 3-aminothiophenol as an analyte molecule was adsorbed, and then placing silver nanowires on the substrate to make gap sites between a nanowire and nanospheres. In the far-field Raman measurements, the sphere under the wire exhibite...

Hydrothermal synthesis of monodisperse single-crystalline alpha-quartz nanospheres.

Uniformly-sized, single-crystal alpha-quartz nanospheres have been synthesized at 200 °C and 15 atm under continuous stirring starting from uniform, amorphous Stöber silica colloids and using NaCl and alkali hydroxide as mineralizers. Quartz nanosphere size is controlled by the colloid particle size via direct devitrification. Uniform, high-purity nanocrystalline quartz is important for underst...

Size control of dendrimer-templated silica.

One of the most significant challenges facing the biomimetic synthesis of materials is achieving the requisite level of dimensional and spatial control. Typical reaction conditions for biomimetic silica synthesis allow for continued growth and ripening leading to the formation of larger nanospheres on the order of 200-600 nm in diameter. Herein, we have used polyamidoamine and polypropylenimine...

Aerosol-assisted synthesis of monodisperse single-crystalline α-cristobalite nanospheres.

Monodisperse single-crystalline α-cristobalite nanospheres have been synthesized by hydrocarbon-pyrolysis-induced carbon deposition on amorphous silica aerosol nanoparticles, devitrification of the coated silica at high temperature, and subsequent carbon removal by oxidation. The nanosphere size can be well controlled by tuning the size of the colloidal silica precursor. Uniform, high-purity na...
