Size controlled growth of germanium nanorods and nanowires by solution pyrolysis directly on a substrate.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Herein, we describe the controlled growth of 1 dimensional germanium nanostructures from high aspect ratio nanowires (>10 microns in length) to shorter aspect nanorods (100 nm in length) via a simple pyrolysis method. The synthetic route involves the thermal decomposition of selected germanium precursors by dropping a solution in a high boiling point solvent directly onto a pre-heated Si wafer in the presence of a copper source under inert conditions.

Gold catalytic Growth of Germanium Nanowires by chemical vapour deposition method
Germanium nanowires (GeNWs) were synthesized using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) based on vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) mechanism with Au nanoparticles as catalyst and germanium tetrachloride (GeCl4) as a precursor of germanium. Au catalysts were deposited on silicon wafer as a thin film, firstly by sputtering technique and secondly by submerging the silicon substrates in Au colloidal s...

This paper shows that the reflectance in silicon nanowires (SiNWs) can be optimized as a function of the area of silicon substrate where the nanostructure growth. SiNWs were fabricated over four different areas of silicon substrates to study the size effects using electroless etching technique. Three different etching solution concentrations of silver nitrate (AgNO3) and hydroflu...

The current study reports some interesting growth of novel In2O3 nanostructures using ambient-controlled chemical vapor deposition technique in the presence of a strongly reducing hydrazine ambient. The experiments are systematically carried out by keeping either of the carrier gas flow rate or the source temperature constant, and varying the other. For each of the depositions, the growth is st...
متن کاملEffect of Titania Colloid Solution Concentration on Hydrophobicity of Well-Aligned TiO2 Nanorods Synthesized via Hydrothermal Method
Among one dimensional nanomaterials, TiO2 nanorods have found important applications in various industries due to optical, photocatalyst and self-cleaning properties. In this research, at first TiO2 nanorods were synthesized on a glass substrate by hydrothermal method. Then a thin film of TiO2 particles was dip coated (as seed layer) on the substrate. After that, hydrothermal synthesis of TiO2 ...
متن کاملEpitaxy of Ge nanowires grown from biotemplated Au nanoparticle catalysts.
Semiconductor nanowires (NWs) are being actively investigated due to their unique functional properties which result from their quasi-one-dimensional structure. However, control over the crystallographic growth direction, diameter, location, and morphology of high-density NWs is essential to achieve the desirable properties and to integrate these NWs into miniaturized devices. This article pres...
