Promoted growth of Bi single-crystalline nanowires by sidewall-induced compressive stress in on-film formation of nanowires.
To increase the density of Bi nanowires grown by our unique on-film formation of nanowires (OFF-ON) method, we introduced a technique for enhancing compressive stress, which is the driving force for the nanowire growth. The compressive stress could be controlled by modifying the substrate structure. A combination of photolithography and a reactive ion etching technique was used to fabricate pat...
متن کاملElectrical transport properties of single bismuth nanowires
Due to its unique electronic properties bismuth is of enormous interest for studies on the nanoscale. In particular, when the object size is comparable to the mean free path of charge carriers le (~ 100 nm and ~ 400 μm at 300 and 4 K, respectively [1]), mesoscopic effects such as electron scattering at both surface [2] and grain boundaries [3] become significant. For investigating the influence...
متن کاملGrowth and Characterization of Bismuth Telluride Nanowires
Polycrystalline Bi2Te3 nanowires are electrochemically grown in ion track-etched polycarbonate membranes. Potentiostatic growth is demonstrated in templates of various thicknesses ranging from 10 to 100 μm. The smallest observed nanowire diameters are 20 nm in thin membranes and approx. 140 180 nm in thicker membranes. The influence of the various deposition parameters on the nanowire growth ra...
متن کاملThe optical properties of bismuth nanowires
The optical absorption of bismuth nanowires in the energy (wavenumber) range of 600 4000cm-1 is studied. Optical reflection and transmission spectra reveal that bismuth nanowires have a large and intense absorption peak as well as several smaller absorption peaks which are not measured in bulk bismuth. The smaller absorption peaks fit reasonably well to theoretical models for intersubband absor...
متن کاملTemplate Synthesis of Bismuth Telluride Nanowires
We report the fabrication of thermoelectric bismuth teUuride nanowires using the template synthesis method. A simple electrodeposition procedure was used to produce the nanowires within the pores of an alumina filtration membrane. The resulting bismuth telluride/alumina composite membranes constitute an array of thermoelectric nanowires surrounded by a thermally and electrically insulating matr...
