The role of catalyst metals to the growth of SI nanowire

The metal catalyst plays an important role on the catalytic growth. The growth mechanism of silicon nanowires synthesized with several metal catalysts via chemical-vapordeposition (CVD) is discussed by using vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) mechanism. However, the growth of silicon nanowires is chiefly...
