Abstract: | Gallium oxide nanowires were synthesized on Si (001) substrate by chemical vapor deposition, using a Ga/Ga2O3 mixture as a precursor and Au as a catalyst. The structure of the as-synthesized products was examined by X-ray powder diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and found to be monoclinic beta-Ga2O3. The morphologies of the beta-Ga2O3 nanowires were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The majority of the nanowires contain holes along their length, but a few were also found without holes. The holes are believed to be formed by the reaction of adsorbed Ga droplets on reactive terminating surfaces of the nanowires. For nanowires where these reactive surfaces are not exposed, the reaction of Ga is retarded. Cathodoluminescence (CL) of the nanowires was measured. Three emission bands centered at 376, 454, and 666 nm, respectively, were observed. |
