Indium (In) catalyzed silicon nanowires (SiNWs) were synthesized by using hot-wire chemical vapor deposition (HWCVD) technique. Indium droplets were deposited on Si substrates by hot-wire evaporation of In wire, which was immediately followed by the growth of SiNWs from the droplets. Three sets of s...
