摘要
Large amount of SiOx nanowires and Si/SiOx core-shell nanowires on silicon wafer had been synthesized through carbon-assisted growth. Carbon-assisted growth was employed in this study due to the lack of contamination from metallic catalysts and cheaper raw materials. The nanowires produced had length up to 100 mu m and diameter ranging from 20 to 40 nm. In this study, increasing the growth temperature (1100, 1200 and 1300 degrees C) caused a change in the morphology of the nanowires from SiOx to Si/SiOx core-shell structures while increasing the soaking time of the heating profile (1, 2 and 4 h) increased the length of nanowires.
