Electronic structure of In2O3 nanowires synthesized at low temperature

In2O3 nanowires with uniform morphology and single crystalline structure were synthesized at low temperature of 400℃-450℃ using InSb as the precursor via VLS mechanism. The nanowires have uniform diameter of about 40 nm and are up to tens of micrometres in length and grew along the [100] direction a...

Description
Summary:In2O3 nanowires with uniform morphology and single crystalline structure were synthesized at low temperature of 400℃-450℃ using InSb as the precursor via VLS mechanism. The nanowires have uniform diameter of about 40 nm and are up to tens of micrometres in length and grew along the [100] direction as established by high resolution electron microscopy. The electronic and local structures of In2O3 nanowires, compared to that of In2O3 powder, have been studied with X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) at In K-edge and O K-edge. The XAFS results reveal the stronger In-O bonding in In2O3 nanowires compared to bulk In2O3.
