摘要
Amorphous silicon nanowire films were rationally synthesized using a simple approach. The films consist of highly oriented nanowires of 30 mum in length and 20-80 nm in diameter. The morphology, microstructure features, and chemical composition of the nanowires were analyzed using electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. A novel model concerning solid-liquid-solid phases was proposed to explain the growth mechanism of the nanowires. This approach should be very useful to direct the controlled growth of nanomaterials.
