We report a new synthesis route to form single-crystalline silicide nanowires (NWs) with the assistance of the reaction between SiO2 and Na2O, which has been intensively studied by glass industry for a century. Rare earth silicide NWs epitaxially grown on the clean silicon substrate surface has been...
