Spontaneous growth of bismuth nanowires on a sputter-deposited thin bismuth film

Thin films of bismuth of thickness 100nm have been deposited onto Si(111) substrates held at 120°C using magnetron sputter deposition. The three-inch magnetrons were operated at DC powers between 30W and 50W to give deposition rates between 0.03 and 0.09nms-1. Examination of the surface of the thin...
