Large-scale Synthesis of β-SiC Nanochains and Their Raman/Photoluminescence Properties

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Although the SiC/SiO<sub>2</sub> nanochain heterojunction has been synthesized, the chained homogeneous nanostructure of SiC has not been reported before. Herein, the novel &#946;-SiC nanochains are synthesized assisted by the AAO template. The ch...
