Facet-Selective Nucleation and Conformal Epitaxy of Ge Shells on Si Nanowires.
Knowledge of nanoscale heteroepitaxy is continually evolving as advances in material synthesis reveal new mechanisms that have not been theoretically predicted and are different than what is known about planar structures. In addition to a wide range of potential applications, core/shell nanowire structures offer a useful template to investigate heteroepitaxy at the atomistic scale. We show that...
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 کاملDiffusion in Si(x)Ge(1-x)/Si nanowire heterostructures.
Si0.48Ge0.52/Si tip/nanowire heterostructures were grown by pulsed laser vaporization (PLV) at a growth temperature of 1100 degrees C. Ge diffusion in [111]-growth Si nanowires was studied for different post-synthesis annealing temperatures from 200 degrees C to 800 degrees C. Ge composition profiles were quantified by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy in a transmission electron microscope. ...
متن کاملComparison of the effect of Si and Ge presence on phase formation process, the structural and magnetic properties of Co2FeX (X=Ge,Si) Heusler compounds
In this study, the Co2FeX (X=Ge, Si) Heusler compounds with 30 valence electrons, which are made by using mechanical alloying and arc melting methods were studied. The crystallization of samples was confirmed by XRD data in both manufacturing methods. The results showed that the presence of Si than Ge in the compound played a more effective role to creation a large scale atomic ordering, and th...
متن کاملFabrication of Ni-silicide/Si heterostructured nanowire arrays by glancing angle deposition and solid state reaction
This work develops a method for growing Ni-silicide/Si heterostructured nanowire arrays by glancing angle Ni deposition and solid state reaction on ordered Si nanowire arrays. Samples of ordered Si nanowire arrays were fabricated by nanosphere lithography and metal-induced catalytic etching. Glancing angle Ni deposition deposited Ni only on the top of Si nanowires. When the annealing temperatur...
