Nanometer sized silicon (Si) needles (nanowires) offer a vehicle for varieties of applications at nanoscale. We grow Si nanoneedles (SiNNs) using very high frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (VHF-PECVD) method with distinct gold (Au) nanostructures (NSs) as catalyst. Au NSs in the f...
