Figure 4

Scanning electron micrographs of organised vertical silicon nanowire arrays grown on silicon substrates. (a) Top view with the gold catalyst at the nanowires’ end. (b) Cross-sectional view with the gold catalyst at the nanowires’ end, with a nanowire diameter of 85 nm and period of 100 nm. (c) Cross-sectional view without the gold catalyst at the nanowires’ end, with a nanowire diameter of 190 nm and period of 250 nm. (d) Cross-sectional view without the gold catalyst at the nanowires’ end grown in alumina made with orthophosphoric acid, with a nanowire diameter of 190 nm and period of 250 nm. (e) Cross-sectional view of nanowires with gold catalyst grown in alumina made with oxalic acid, with a nanowire diameter of 85 nm and period of 100 nm.
