Microspheres for the Growth of Silicon Nanowires via Vapor-Liquid-Solid Mechanism

Silicon nanowires have been synthesized by a simple process using a suitable support containing silica and carbon microspheres. Nanowires were grown by thermal chemical vapor deposition via a vapor-liquid-solid mechanism with only the substrate as silicon source. The curved surface of the microsized...
