Abstract

The effects of different carrying gases on the thickness of Si nanowires, synthesized by laser ablation, were examined. The carrying gases used were He, N₂, and Ar mixed with 5% H₂ gases. Nanowire characteristics were studied by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron microscopy, electron energy dispersive spectroscopy, and Raman scattering. The study provides a method of producing ample quantities of ultra-long and thin nanowires to facilitate quasi-one-dimensional Si quantum structure studies with ease.
