Amorphous silica nanowires grown by the vapor–solid mechanism
... to form the silica nanowires by the VS mech- anism. Increasing the process time up to 120 min does not change the diameter and the length of the silica nanowires significantly, indicating the Fig. ... 2a, shows the nanowires grown from the seed parti- cles. The diameter of the nanowires ranges be- tween 15 and 35 nm. Process time did not affect the length...
