Size-controlled, high optical quality ZnO nanowires grown using colloidal Au nanoparticles and ultra-small cluster catalysts
Size-controlled ZnO nanowires were grown by eclipse pulsed laser deposition using Au colloids and ultra-small (sub 2 nm) Au101 and Au9 clusters as catalysts, tethered to c-plane sapphire substrates using aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS). A strong correlation was observed between ZnO nanowire tip...
