Title: | Kinking-induced structural evolution of metal oxide nanowires into single-crystalline nanorings | Authors: | Yan, Chaoyi Singh, Nandan Lee, Pooi See |
Keywords: | DRNTU::Engineering::Materials | Issue Date: | 2010 | Source: | Yan, C., Singh, N., & Lee, P. S. (2010). Kinking-induced structural evolution of metal oxide nanowires into single-crystalline nanorings. ACS Nano, 4(9), 5350-5356. | Series/Report no.: | ACS nano | Abstract: | We report an innovative method to fabricate single-crystalline nanorings based on the conventional vapor−liquid−solid (VLS) mechanism. The controllable formation of kinks in functional oxide nanowires (NWs) can be employed to fold the VLS-grown NWs into closed ring-shaped nanostructures. Successful syntheses of single-crystalline In2O3 and Zn2GeO4 nanorings were demonstrated. The present work provides an efficient method for nanoring fabrication based on NWs. The functional metal oxide nanomaterials with unique ring-shaped structures are expected to find interesting applications such as wave-guiding and photonic circuits. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/94517 http://hdl.handle.net/10220/8516 |
