Description

Si-SiOx core-shell nanowires with a length of hundreds of micrometers and average diameters of 40-90 nm were fabricated by directly heating Si wafers coated with metallic Fe. These novel core-shell nanowires have a diamond structure for their ultrathin Si cores with a diameter of 5-8 nm aligned along the (111) growth directions inside much thicker amorphous SiO x shells. A new temperature-dependent alloy, metallic and ionic Fe (Fe-FeOx), catalyzed solid-liquid-solid mechanism is proposed to explain the growth of Si-SiOx core-shell nanowires based on both the synthesis conditions and microstructural characterizations.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
