Converting Dimensions: A Facile and High-Yield Route for Getting Sub-100 nm Silicon Nanowires

Lee S-H., Yonsei University, KR

For synthesizing uniform sub-100-nm Si nanowires (NWs), we introduce a metal-assisted chemical etching (MCE)-based facile and high-yield route, employing simple thermal annealing and vacuum deposition processes. Under rapid thermal annealing, an ultrathin Ag film on [...]

Defect reduction of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes by Rapid Vacuum Arc Annealing

Tsai J.T.H., Li J.S., Tseng A.A., Tatung University, TW

A rapid thermal annealing process is demonstrated for defect reduction of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) using a DC vacuum arc discharge system. The MWCNTs grown by chemical vapor deposition at a relatively low temperature (~650 [...]
