摘要
Large-scale crystalline boron nanowires (BNWs) were synthesized by a simple chemical vapor deposition method on Au-coated Si substrates using two kinds of innoxious and inexpensive reactant materials as the precursor at relatively low temperature (≤1000°C).The morphology and structural properties of samples were characterized by SEM,TEM,SAED,and XPS analytic instruments.The BNWs have lengths of several tens of micrometers with diameters of 80-150 nm.SAED and HRTEM analytic results testified that BNWs were single crystal core with a thin oxide sheath.By comparison of the BNW samples synthesized at difference temperatures,we conclude that BNWs have lower growth rate at 950°C,whilst the suitable growth rate can be gained at 1000°C.This result shows that BNWs can be synthesized via one step CVD process at 1000°C,and overly high growth temperature (≥1200°C) is probably unnecessary.
