We review our current progress on semiconductor nanowires of β-Ga2O3, Si and GaN. These nanowires were grown using both vapor–solid (VS) and vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) mechanisms. Using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) we studied their morphological, compositional and structural characteristics. Here we survey the general morphologies, growth directions and a variety of defect structures found in our samples. We also outline a method to determine the nanowire growth direction using TEM, and present an overview of device fabrication and assembly methods developed using these nanowires.

GeO2 nanowire arrays have been fabricated by thermal evaporation of Ge powder in air via a vapor–liquid–solid mechanism with Au
as a catalyst. The GeO2 nanowires are single crystalline with a hexagonal structure and have a controllable aspect ratio in the range of 23–167.
The controllable synthesis of GeO2 nanowire arrays with different aspect ratios was achieved by adjusting the heating temperature and time. Photoluminescence
spectra of the GeO2 nanowire arrays were measured at room temperature, and two ultraviolet emission peaks at 347 and 364 nm are observed for
the first time, which indicates that the GeO2 nanowire arrays may have potential applications in nanoscale photonic and electronic devices. Moreover, this vapor–liquid–solid
growth process may be employed for synthesis of the highly oriented nanowire arrays of other oxides, and provides opportunities
for both fundamental research and technological applications. 相似文献

One-dimensional (1D) silicon (Si) nanostructures were grown by electron-beam evaporation catalyzed by gold nanoparticles on silicon substrates following the vapor–liquid–solid growth mechanism. We report three strikingly different growth morphologies of the 1D Si nanostructures and discuss their formation. The morphology of the silicon nanostructures strongly depends on gold layer thickness, annealing temperature before deposition and growth temperature during the deposition. The formation of nanoscale silicon features such as nanobelts, nanowires and nanowhiskers was observed. The nanoscale silicon features were characterized by transmission and scanning electron microscopy using imaging, diffraction and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy and UV micro-Raman spectroscopy.

Single-crystalline Sb-doped Ge nanowires (NWs) with excellent structural properties and uniform composition have been synthesized
with high yield by vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) growth by low-temperature thermal evaporation from a mixture of Ge and Sb powders.
During deposition, both the Ge and the Sb dopant became incorporated in the VLS seed nanoparticle. In situ annealing experiments
during transmission electron microscopy establish that a liquid ternary Au-Sb-Ge alloy constitutes the active phase of the
VLS seed drop at high temperatures, which governs the growth of the one-dimensional Ge NW and its doping by Sb. 相似文献

In2O3 nanorods with rectangular cross sections have been successfully synthesized using Au as a catalyst through chemical vapor
deposition methods. The synthesized nanorods possessed larger size than that of the catalyst particle. The growth process
was discussed through detailed theory analysis and experimental validation, and a competitive growth model between axial growth
under the vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) mechanism and lateral growth controlled by the vapor–solid (VS) mechanism was proposed
to explain the formation of a rectangular cross section and the size change of the nanorods. The research regarding controlled
growth under the two mechanisms, viz. VLS and VS, was beneficial for exploration into the controlled growth of complicated
functional nanomaterials. Furthermore, the photoluminescence property was also studied.

ZnO-coated zinc antimonate (ZnSb2O4) nanocables have been fabricated via a simple one-step thermal evaporation of layered powders of Sb2O3 and ZnO on a brass substrate. The samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and high
resolution transmission electron microscopy with a high-angle annular dark-field attachment. The nanocables are several tens
of micrometers in length; the ZnSb2O4 core is ∼30 nm in diameter and the thickness of the ZnO sheath is ∼5 nm. Both the ZnSb2O4 core and the ZnO sheath are single crystalline. The controlled growth mechanism of ZnO-coated ZnSb2O4 nanocables was considered to be the combination of oxide-assisted evaporation and vapor–solid processes.

High-yield synthesis of amorphous silicon oxide nanoropes (SiONRs) was achieved by using simple evaporation and oxidation
of Si. Transmission electron microscopy observations show that the amorphous SiONRs have a length of up to several hundreds
of micrometers and a diameter of 20 to 40 nm. Energy-dispersive X-ray analysis reveals that the SiONRs consist of Si and O
elements in an atomic ratio of approximately 1:1.2. The formation process of the SiONRs is closely related to a vapor–solid
method. The SiONRs emit blue light at energies of 2.53 and 3.0 eV.

Tin dioxide (SnO2) nanobelts have been successfully synthesized in bulk quantity by a simple and low-cost process based on the thermal evaporation
of tin powders at 800 °C. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations reveal
that the nanobelts are uniform, with lengths from several-hundred micrometers to a few millimeters, widths of 60 to 250 nm
and thicknesses of 10 to 30 nm. X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and selected-area electron
diffraction analysis (SAED) indicate that the nanobelts are tetragonal rutile structure of SnO2. The SnO2 nanobelts grow via a vapor–solid (VS) process.

In this paper, ZnSe nanorods grown on in-situ synthesized ZnSe grains are reported. The ZnSe products are synthesized through
thermal evaporation of elementary materials of Zn and Se powders in a horizontal resistance furnace. It is interesting to
note that the ZnSe nanorods of nearly the same diameter and length are obtained, and they grow in the same direction on a
facet of the ZnSe grain. The ZnSe grains are random in shape, with well-defined bounded facets. The ZnSe grains can be synthesized
in various growth conditions while the ZnSe nanorods can be synthesized on the ZnSe grains with the fulfillment of the Zn
enriched condition. The growth of ZnSe nanorods can be described by the self-catalytic vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) mechanism.

Silica nanosprings were synthesized using a simple, low temperature, chemical vapor deposition method via a vapor–liquid–solid
mechanism. Nanosprings with excellent uniformity and helicity in high and repeatable yields have been observed. The morphology
and crystal structure of the nanosprings were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy.
The chemical composition of the nanosprings was determined using the energy-filtered transmission electron microscopic method.
The as-grown nanomaterials were confirmed to be amorphous silica with irregularly shaped Au catalytic particles located at
the tips. In addition, we propose a spontaneous spinning growth model to explain the formation of such helical nanostructures. 相似文献

The un-doped and boron-doped silicon nanowires (SiNWs) were grown via vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) mechanism by low pressure chemical
deposition (LPCVD). The diameters of un-doped and boron-doped SiNWs varied from 18.5 to 75.3 nm and 26.6 to 66.1 nm, respectively.
The critical growth temperature of boron-doped SiNWs is 10°C lower than that of un-doped ones and the diameters of the boron-doped
SiNWs is always larger than that of the un-doped ones under different growth temperatures. This is because that the introduction
of diborane enhanced the dissociation of SiH4 which determines the growth process of SiNW. A growth process of silicon nanowire is proposed to describe the influence of
B2H6. 相似文献

Nanowires and nanotubes of ZrO2 were successfully synthesized in this study by concentration dependent solution deposition (CDSD) using Zr[O(CH2)3CH3]4 as the precursor and anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) as the substrate. Here, we synthesized one-dimensional zirconium dioxide
with a simple and efficient method by sucking the precursor solution though the AAO channels. In these experiments, the key
factor in the formation of nanowires and nanotubes is the concentration of the precursor, Zr[O(CH2)3CH3]4 butanol solution. Concentrated Zr[O(CH2)3CH3]4 solutions cause the formation of solid one-dimensional materials, whereas dilute precursor solutions form hollow nanotubes.
The dimensions of the nanomaterials synthesized correspond to the scope of the AAO template are 200–450 nm in diameter and
about 60 μm in length. Furthermore, the cable structures of these nanomaterials, wire-in-tube and tube-in-tube, were synthesized
by alternately operating the processes. We are reporting an uncomplicated, fast and versatile method applicable to a wide
range of materials, taking advantage of the sol–gel process to prepare a vast variety of nanocomposite full of potential applications,
especially cable nanomaterials. 相似文献

Aligned SiOx nanowire arrays standing on a Si substrate were successfully synthesized using a simple method by heating a single-crystalline
Si slice covered with SiO2 nanoparticles at 1000 °C in a flowing Ar atmosphere. The SiOx nanowire arrays were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The SiOx nanowires become progressively thinner from bottom to top. The formation process of the SiOx nanowire arrays is closely related to a vapor–solid mechanism. Room-temperature photoluminescence measurements under excitation
at 260 nm showed that the SiOx nanowire arrays had a strong blue–green emission at 500 nm (about 2.5 eV), which may be related to oxygen defects.

Long silicon nitride (Si3N4) nanowires with high purity were synthesized by heating mixtures of SiO2 powders and short carbon fibers at 1430°C for 2 h in a flowing N2 atmosphere. The nanowires had the length of 1–2 millimeters and the diameters of 70–300 nm, and were mainly composed of ⍺-Si3N4, growing along the [001] direction. The vapor–solid (VS) mechanism was employed to interpret the nanowires growth. 相似文献

The recent demonstration of thermal conductivity of rough electrolessly etched Si nanowire (Hochbaum et al., Nature, 451:163,
2008) attracted a lot of interest, because it could not be explained by the existing theory; thermal conductivity of rough Si
nanowires falls below the boundary scattering of the thermal conductivity. However, nanoscale pores presented in the nanowires
(Hochbaum et al., Nano Letters, 9:3550–3554, 2009) hinder one to be fully convinced that the surface roughness solely made a contribution to the significant reduction in thermal
conductivity. In this study, we synthesized vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) grown rough Si1−x

nanowire and measured and theoretically simulated thermal conductivity of the nanowire. The thermal conductivity of rough
Si0.96Ge0.04 nanowire is an order of magnitude lower than that of bulk Si0.96Ge0.04 and around a factor of four times lower than that of smooth Si0.96Ge0.04 nanowire. This significant reduction could be explained by the fact that the surface roughness scatters medium-wavelength
phonons, whereas the long-wavelength phonons are scattered by phonon boundary scattering, and the short-wavelength phonons
are scattered by alloy scattering. 相似文献

A simple and surfactant-free synthesis of novel heterostructures comprising of copper oxide (CuO) nanowires uniformly decorated
with cobalt oxide (Co3O4) nanoparticles was demonstrated by combining thermal growth and wet-coating method. The heterostructures were synthesized
by thermally decomposing cobalt salt (cobalt nitrate) into Co3O4 nanoparticles onto vapor–solid (VS)-grown CuO nanowires. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high resolution transmission electron
microscopy (TEM) confirmed the presence of CuO and Co3O4 phases as well as a narrow size distribution of Co3O4 nanoparticles (average diameter ~7.0 ± 1.5 nm) on CuO nanowires (average diameter of nanowire tips ~67.9 ± 18.6 nm). Unique
interfacial lattice relationship was observed for (111) Co3O4 nanoparticles on (200) CuO nanowire surface resulting in hemispherical shape of the former. For the first time, further systematic
studies were performed to understand the influence of various parameters (cobalt salt concentration and annealing temperature,
atmosphere, and time) on the morphological evolution of Co3O4 nanoparticles on CuO nanowires. Interestingly, by varying these parameters, it was possible to grow Co3O4 in different shapes (spherical, triangular, rectangular, cubical, and hexagonal nanoparticles) and forms (shells and nanorods).
It was observed that all these parameters play a critical role in influencing the surface migration, nucleation, and growth
of Co3O4 nanoparticles on CuO nanowires and this assisted in understanding the involved growth mechanisms. Finally, UV–vis–NIR spectroscopy
and band gap energies for these heterostructures were evaluated that showed higher photocatalytic degradation efficiency for
Rhodamine B under low-power visible-light illumination. 相似文献

The cavity formation during laser pulse heating of steel, nickel, and tantalum is examined and evaporation rate from the cavity surface is predicted. The mushy zones generated across the vapor–liquid and liquid–solid phases are modeled using the energy method. Temperature-dependent thermal properties are accommodated in the analysis and the laser pulse shape resembling the actual laser pulse is employed in the simulations. A numerical scheme using the control volume method is used to predict the cavity size, recession velocity of the vapor front, and temperature field in the laser irradiated region. It is found that cavity depth for steel is the largest, then follows nickel and tantalum. The recession velocity of the vapor front is high for steel due to the low evaporation temperature and latent heat of evaporation of steel. 相似文献

and conductivity at different temperatures was calculated. The effect of an increase of samarium content on the conductivity
of the solid electrolyte was studied in this paper. It was found that less samarium content exhibits good conductivity at

The solid solution between the antiferroelectric PbZrO3 (PZ) and relaxor ferroelectric Pb(Co1/3Nb2/3)O3 (PCoN) was synthesized by the columbite method. The phase structure and thermal properties of (1−x)PZ–xPCoN, where x=0.0–0.3, were investigated. With these data, the ferroelectric phase diagram between PZ and PCoN has been established. The
crystal structure data obtained from XRD indicates that the solid solution PZ–PCoN, where x=0.0–0.3, successively transforms from orthorhombic to rhombohedral symmetry with an increase in PCoN concentration. The AFE→FE
phase transition was found in the compositions of 0.0≤x≤0.10. The AFE→FE phase transition shift to lower temperatures with higher compositions of x. The width of the temperature range of FE phase was increased with increasing amount of PCoN. It is apparent that the replacement
of the Zr4+ ion by (Co1/3Nb2/3)4+ ions would decrease the driving force for antiparallel shift of Pb2+ ions, because they interrupt the translational symmetry. This interruption caused the appearance of a rhombohedral ferroelectric
phase when the amount of PCoN was more than 10 mol%. 相似文献

A novel structure of ZnO nanorods on microsized ZnSe particles has been prepared through a chemical vapor deposition technique
using Zn and Se powders as the sources. The dimension of the nanorods can be controlled by adjusting the growth temperature,
time and the Zn : Se ratio. Through the investigation of the effects of synthesis time and Zn : Se ratio on the formation
of ZnO nanorods on ZnSe microparticles, it is proposed that the synthesis of the ZnO–ZnSe structures involves a two-stage
formation. The growth of ZnO nanorods can be described by the vapor–solid mechanism. The photoluminescence of the ZnO–ZnSe
structures has also been studied.
