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...

We present the successful synthesis of aligned C labeled single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) arrays from alcohol by a modified no-flow chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method which makes possible efficient growth using a small amount of carbon source. Synthesis of high-quality SWNTs by this alternate method was confirmed by Resonance Raman spectroscopy, which also showed the quality is uniform ...

Direct synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotubes SWNTs bridging prepatterned Mo electrodes has been achieved using laser-assisted chemical vapor deposition LCVD . The synthesized SWNTs are found predominantly semiconducting. By controlling the spot size of the focused laser beam, synthesis of SWNTs can be achieved in a localized manner, which is governed by the thermal and optical properties ...

We demonstrate the efficient chemical vapor deposition synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotubes where the activity and lifetime of the catalysts are enhanced by water. Water-stimulated enhanced catalytic activity results in massive growth of superdense and vertically aligned nanotube forests with heights up to 2.5 millimeters that can be easily separated from the catalysts, providing nanotub...

The carbon based coils with the nanometer scale have the 3 dimension helix geometry. We synthesized the carbon nano-coils by the use of chemical vapor deposition technique with iron and tin as the catalysts. The fabricated coils have the external diameter of ranging few hundred nm to few thousand nm. The Scanning Electro-Microscope (SEM) and Tunneling Electro-Microscope has shown detail images ...

We demonstrate synthesis of silicon nanowires of tens of nanometers via laser induced chemical vapor deposition. These nanowires with diameters as small as 60 nm are produced by the interference between incident laser radiation and surface scattered radiation within a diffraction limited spot, which causes spatially confined, periodic heating needed for high resolution chemical vapor deposition...

Mots-clé PVD-CVD, Sol-gel processing, Monte Carlo simulation, thin film islanding. PACS 04A25 The synthesis of self-organized quantum dots (QD’s) can be achieved through bottom up layer by layer deposition processes as chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or physical vapor deposition (PVD). However, QD’s may also be synthesized via sol-gel route, which involves a spontaneous evolution from thin film...

Recently, two-dimensional (2D) charge density wave (CDW) materials have attracted extensive interest due to potential applications as high performance functional nanomaterials. As other 2D materials, 2D CDW materials are layered materials with strong in-plane bonding and weak out-of-plane interactions enabling exfoliation into layers of single unit cell thickness. Although bulk CDW materials ha...

Two dimensional (2D) materials have gained significant attention since the discovery of graphene in 2004. Layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have become the focus of 2D materials in recent years due to their wide range of chemical compositions and a variety of properties. These TMDs layers can be artificially integrated with other layered materials into a monolayer (lateral) or a m...

We demonstrate here in situ synthesis of bulk yield W18O49@carbon coaxial nanocables based on an easily controlled chemical vapor deposition process at relatively low temperature (760 C) using metallic tungsten powder and ethylene (C2H4) as the raw materials. Transmission electron microscope (TEM), energy dispersive x-ray (EDX), and x-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses indicate that the resultant n...
