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

Growth of silicon self-assembled nanowires by using gold-enhanced CVD technology
In spite of the fact that, a great deal of experimental research has been published, there is a lack of good understanding of silicon nanowires growth to exert control over important properties of the system, though it presents the simplest system like ...

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