摘要
We report a new method to synthesize very straight silicon nanowires using a porous iron/SiO2 gel as a template by thermal chemical vapor deposition at a temperature of about 500 degreesC. Scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and Raman scattering spectroscopy were used to characterize the samples. The results show that a large amount of straight Si nanowires with diameters of about 30 nm and lengths of about 1 mum was obtained. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy observation shows that microtwin defects lie in the straight silicon nanowires. Raman scattering from the nanowires shows a larger line width (about 15 cm(-1)) and a down-shifted (about 9 cm(-1)) peak as compared to that of bulk crystalline silicon.
