Abstract

Crystalline aSi<subscript>3</subscript>N<subscript>4</subscript> nanowires were simply prepared by heating a silicon wafer at 1250 °C in a flowing NH<subscript>3</subscript> and N<subscript>2</subscript> atmosphere. The obtained nanowires are straight and uniform with diameters of 30-100 nm and of lengths up to tens of microns. The possible reactions in the synthesis process are discussed. The growth mechanism of the nanowires is vapor-solid (VS) process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
