  • Title: Silicon nanowire synthesis by a vapor-liquid-solid approach.
    Author: Mao A, Ng HT, Nguyen P, McNeil M, Meyyappan M.
    Journal: J Nanosci Nanotechnol; 2005 May; 5(5):831-5. PubMed ID: 16010948.
    Abstract:
    Synthesis of silicon nanowires is studied by using a vapor-liquid-solid growth technique. Silicon tetrachloride reduction with hydrogen in the gas phase is used with gold serving as catalyst to facilitate growth. Only a narrow set of conditions of SiCl4 concentration and temperature yield straight nanowires. High concentrations and temperatures generally result in particulates, catalyst coverage and deactivation, and coatinglike materials.
