Abstract
Amorphous silicon nanowires have been prepared on Si substrates by AuPd nan oparticles/silane reaction. TEM and SEM have been employed to characterize the nanowires. The growth mechanism of the nanowires appears to be a vapor- liquid-solid mechanism. The reasons of forming amorphous silicon nanowires were discussed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
