摘要: Various novel features have been discussed of the self-catalytic nanowire growth technique with application to InN growths. It is hard grow nanowires due very low dissociation temperature (500–600°C) and rate NH3 at this temperature. However, scanning electron microscopy images show that efficiently produced long, uniform, single-crystal nanowires. Unlike most other methods, also versatile enough produce a wide variety standing lying on substrates. useful by conventional vapor-liquid-solid formalism. Energy-dispersive spectroscopy showed composition InN. X-ray diffraction patterns indicated these had pure hexagonal wurtzite structure.
