Abstract :
Tin oxide (SnO2) nanowires have been synthesized in bulk quantities at lower temperature (680 °C) by thermal evaporation of SnO powder. These as-synthesized SnO2 nanowires are single crystals with [3 0 1] growth axis, with diameters ranging from 10 to 190 nm and lengths extending to tens of micrometers. The growth of SnO2 nanowires synthesized by lower-temperature evaporation is dominated by a self-catalytic vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) mechanism. The self-catalytic effect in VLS process has been described.
