摘要：

Tin-catalyzed silicon nanowires (Sn-catalyzed SiNWs) are synthesized using the hydrogen radical-assisted deposition method and the prepared samples are examined for application of solar cells Voluminous SiNWs with various growth directions ale synthesized for 10 min at 400 degrees C through the vapor-liquid-solid and the vapor-solid mechanisms Their diameters are approximately 20-120 nm and their lengths extended to about 4 mu m The formation mode of metal catalyst and growth models of SiNWs by this method are proposed In the application of solar cells, a superior characteristic below 0 5% in reflectance ale obtained. Furthermore, well-arranged large quantities of SiNWs are synthesized on a thinly Sn-coated (similar to 30 nm) c-Si substrate (C) 2009 Elsevier B V All rights reserved
