Needle-like silicon nanowires (SiNWs) were successfully synthesized on gold-coated silicon substrates using a very high frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition method (VHF-PECVD). The prepared samples were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) with energy d...
