Platinum Assisted Vapor–Liquid–Solid Growth of Er–Si Nanowires and Their Optical Properties

<p>Abstract</p> <p>We report the optical activation of erbium coated silicon nanowires (Er&#8211;SiNWs) grown with the assist of platinum (Pt) and gold (Au), respectively. The NWs were grown on Si substrates by using a chemical vapor transport process using SiCl<sub>4<...
