Preparation and photoelectric properties of Si:B nanowires with thermal evaporation method.

ABSTRACT: We have successfully prepared a significant number of nanowires from non-toxic silicon sources. Compared to the SiO silicon source used in most other articles, our preparation method is much safer. It provides a simple and harmless new preparation method for the preparation of silicon nanowires. SiNWs (Silicon nanowires), as a novel type of nanomaterial, exhibit many outstanding properties, including the quantum confinement effect, quantum tunneling, Coulomb blocking effect, and exceptional electrical and optical properties. The study of SiNWs is therefore highly significant. In this paper, non-toxic SiO2 powder, Si powder, and B2O3 powder were utilized as raw materials to prepare SiNWs with diameters ranging from 30-60 nm and lengths from several hundred nanometers to tens of microns.
