β-SiC nanowires were successfully fabricated on pare Si (100) substrate using simple carbo-thermal evaporation of graphite at 1200°C. The obtained β-SiC nanowires were aligned with diameters ranged between 40 to 500 nm. The majority of crystal planes were β-SiC (111) with other less intensity of (2...
