Pulsed PECVD growth of silicon nanowires on various substrates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Silicon nanowires with high aspect ratio were grown using PPECVD and a gold catalyst on a variety of different substrates. The morphology of the nanowires was investigated for a range of crystalline silicon, glass, metal, ITO coated and amorphous silicon

Gold nanowires from silicon nanowire templates [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Physics Letters, 2004
We report a simple method for producing gold nanowires (AuNWs) by using silicon nanowires (SiNWs) as templates. Uniform AuNWs were formed in the core of SiNWs, when SiNWs coated with Au were furnace annealed at ∼880 °C at 10−2 Torr. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) examination showed the AuNWs had diameters of ∼10 nm. High-resolution TEM revealed

A bright nanowire single photon source based on SiV centers in diamond [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The practical implementation of many quantum technologies relies on the development of robust and bright single photon sources that operate at room temperature. The negatively charged silicon-vacancy (SiV-) color center in diamond is a possible candidate
