Shape modification of Si nanowires by using faceted silicide catalysts nucleated in Au-Si catalyst solution during the growth
The shape modification of Si nanowires is demonstrated using faceted solid silicide catalysts. The Si nanowires were grown on Si(111) substrates covered with Au as a catalyst using MnCl2 and Si powders as source materials. The solid silicide catalysts were nucleated and formed in the Au-Si catalyst...
