Silicon (Si) nanowires are important building blocks in the devices of photonics, quantum-dots, optoelectronics and energy. So far, however, the morphology is yet well studied. In this work, Si/Si-oxide nanowires were grown through thermal annealing of nickel (Ni) coated Si wafers. Side-by-side biax...
