Perpendicular growth of catalyst-free germanium nanowire arrays.

چکیده
High yields of single-crystalline Ge nanowires (NWs) were synthesised in the vapour phase of a high boiling point organic solvent without the need for metal catalyst particles. High density, perpendicular arrays of Ge NWs were subsequently grown from ITO coated substrates. The approach represents a convenient route toward orientated arrays of catalyst-free Ge NWs.

We investigated the interwire distance dependence on the growth kinetics of vertical, high-yield InAs nanowire arrays on Si 111 grown by catalyst-free selective area molecular beam epitaxy MBE . Utilizing lithographically defined SiO2 nanomasks on Si 111 with regular hole patterns, catalyst-free and site-selective growth of vertically 111 -oriented InAs nanowires was achieved with very high yie...
متن کاملControlling Nanowire Growth by Light.
Individual Au catalyst nanoparticles are used for selective laser-induced chemical vapor deposition of single germanium nanowires. Dark-field scattering reveals in real time the optical signatures of all key constituent growth processes. Growth is initially triggered by plasmonic absorption in the Au catalyst, while once nucleated the growing Ge nanowire supports magnetic and electric resonance...
متن کاملMultispectral absorptance from large-diameter InAsSb nanowire arrays in a single epitaxial growth on silicon
Vertical III-V nanowires are capable of resonant absorption at specificwavelengths by tuning the nanowire diameter, thereby exceeding the absorption of equivalent thinfilms. These propertiesmay be exploited to fabricatemultispectral infrared (IR) photodetectors, directly integratedwith Si, without the need for spectral filters or vertical stacking of heterostructures as required in thinfilm dev...
متن کاملTwin plane re-entrant mechanism for catalytic nanowire growth.
A twin-plane based nanowire growth mechanism is established using Au catalyzed Ge nanowire growth as a model system. Video-rate lattice-resolved environmental transmission electron microscopy shows a convex, V-shaped liquid catalyst-nanowire growth interface for a ⟨112⟩ growth direction that is composed of two Ge {111} planes that meet at a twin boundary. Unlike bulk crystals, the nanowire geom...
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...
