Catalyst-free synthesis of sub-5 nm silicon nanowire arrays with massive lattice contraction and wide bandgap
The preparation of quantum silicon nanowires, materials with potential application in high-performance nanodevices, is challenging. Here, the authors synthesize vertically aligned sub-5 nm silicon nanowires via a vapor phase silicon etching process; the resulting material features unusual lattice re...
