A Non-Traditional Vapor-Liquid-Solid Method for Bulk Synthesis of Semiconductor Nanowires

Abstract

Multiple silicon nanowires were synthesized using large gallium pools and microwave plasma. Results showed that nanowires growing out of different sized large gallium drops show little variation in diameters, suggesting that our non-traditional technique can he used to synthesize hulk amounts of monodispersed nanowires out of thin films of molten gallium.
