22. At the time of writing, the authors became aware of a solution-based approach for silicon nanowire synthesis which also exploited one size of colloid for diameter control (Holmes, J. D.; Johnston, K. P.; Doty, C.; Korgel, B A.; Science 2000, 287, 1471).
23. 11 particles/mL to minimize aggregation and were deposited on the substrates. Substrates were placed in a quartz tube at the downstream end of the furnace with a solid target of GaP placed 3-4 cm outside of the furnace at the upstream end. The chamber was evacuated to less than 100 mTorr, and then maintained at 250 Torr with an Ar flow of 100 seem. The furnace was heated to 700 °C and the target was ablated for 10 min with an ArF excimer laser (λ = 193 nm, 100 mJ/pulse, 10 Hz). After cooling, the substrates were examined by FESEM (LEO 982). For TEM (JEOL 200CX and 2010) and EDAX analysis, nanowires were deposited onto copper grids after removal from the substrates by sonication in ethanol.
24. The mean diameter and distribution width increased as more concentrated solutions of the colloid were dispersed onto the substrate.
