Growth and Electrical Characteristics of Platinum-Nanoparticle-Catalyzed Silicon Nanowires

Pt nanoparticle catalysts are used to synthesize Si nanowires. The standard deviations of the starting colloid and the resulting wire diameters are essentially the same, whereas the wires were 22 % larger than the particles. The figure shows current–voltage plots of a silicon nanowire different gate...

Description
Summary:Pt nanoparticle catalysts are used to synthesize Si nanowires. The standard deviations of the starting colloid and the resulting wire diameters are essentially the same, whereas the wires were 22 % larger than the particles. The figure shows current–voltage plots of a silicon nanowire different gate voltages.
