We report the successful synthesis of single crystalline Ge nanowires using Bi as catalyst. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time Bi was used in vapor phase for Ge nanowire growth. An in situ catalyst evaporation method was used to obtain the high quality Ge nanowires. Diameters of th...
