Si nanowires synthesized with Cu catalyst
TL;DR: In this article, the metal copper is used as the catalyst to catalyze the formation of the Si nanowires in high temperature tube furnace, and the growth direction of the straight Si wires is and the polyhedron η″-Cu 3 Si alloy is on the tip of the si wires.

The role of the catalytic particle temperature gradient for SWNT growth from small particles
Feng Ding,Arne Rosén,Kim Bolton +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, molecular dynamics simulations show that the VLS model is not necessary for single-walled carbon nanotube growth from small catalytic particles, and that it is not sufficient for the growth of carbon species from large metal particles.

Theoretical study of the thermal behavior of free and alumina-supported Fe-C nanoparticles
Aiqin Jiang,Neha Awasthi,Aleksey N. Kolmogorov,Wahyu Setyawan,Anders Börjesson,Kim Bolton,Avetik R. Harutyunyan,Stefano Curtarolo +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the thermal behavior of free and alumina-supported iron-carbon nanoparticles is investigated via molecular-dynamics simulations, in which the effect of the substrate is treated with a simple Morse potential fitted to ab initio data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Directed integration of ZnO nanobridge devices on a Si substrate
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate the directed assembly and integration of ZnO nanobridges into working devices on silicon-on-insulator substrates, where metal catalysts are not used.

The influence of dislocations on crystal growth
TL;DR: In fact, the existence of a critical finite supersaturation for further growth has only been established for a few materials, and then for individual faces of individual crystals, being different from case to case as discussed by the authors.
