摘要
We report the large-scale synthesis of silicon nanowires (SiNWs) using a simple but effective approach, High purity SiNWs of uniform diameters around 15 nm were obtained by sublimating a hot-pressed silicon powder target at 1200 degrees C in a flowing carrier gas environment. The SiNWs emit stable blue light which seems unrelated to quantum confinement, but related to an amorphous overcoating layer of silicon oxide. Our approach can be used, in principle, as a general method for synthesis of other one-dimensional semiconducting, or conducting nanowires. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics.
