Rationalization of nanowire synthesis using low-melting point metals

Article Abstract:

A study provides a theoretical basis using thermodynamic stability analysis for explaining the spontaneous nucleation and growth of a high density of 1-D structures of a variety of materials from low-melting metals such as Ga, In, or Sn. Results show that the diameters of the resulting nanowires decrease with the lowering of synthesis temperatures and that the nucleation density decreases with the size of metal droplet diameter and increasing synthesis temperature.

Synthesis of sub-20-nm-sized bismuth 1-D structures using gallium-bismuth systems

Article Abstract:

A bulk synthesis method is presented to synthesize ultrafine Bi nanowires and a new morphology of bismuth nanostructures, tapered whiskers. The synthesis method is based upon the multiple nucleations and basal growth of nanometer scale of nuclei from gallium (Ga) melts that result from the low solubility of Bi in Ga and the low eutectic temperature of the Ga-Bi binary system.

Synthesis and optical properties of gallium phosphide nanotubes

Article Abstract:

Gallium phosphide (GaP) nanotubes with zinc blende structure were synthesized for the first time. The integration of the nanotubular structure with the unique intrinsic semiconducting properties of GaP might bring GaP nanotubes some novel optical and electronic properties and applications.
