Amorphous FexCo1–x Wire-like Nanostructures Manufactured through Surfactant-Free Magnetic-Field-Induced Synthesis

“…It is well-known that the chemical, physical, and mechanical properties of nanomaterials are associated with their shapes, aspect ratios, as well as elemental compositions, whereas their final properties mainly depend on the synthesis process. 5,6 For this reason, a variety of processes leading to the formation of magnetic metallic as well as alloy-type one-dimensional nanostructures have been successfully developed so far, including lithography, 23,24 laser-assisted deposition techniques, 25,26 chemical vapor deposition (CVD), 27,28 thermal decomposition, 29−31 and hydrothermal or solvothermal syntheses. 14,32−35 However, the most frequently applied method to produce wire-like nanomaterials is a templateassisted electrochemical synthesis.…”

This leads to the formation of simple, single metal wire-like structures ,, as well as more complex binary or ternary metal nanoalloys with desired compositions. ,,,− Furthermore, this technique allows control of diameters, lengths, and distances between wire-like structures by adjusting pore diameter, pore depth, and distance between pores, respectively. ,, On the other hand, the template-assisted electrochemical deposition is typically a multistep process leading to the formation of low quantity of material, and at the time, it is quite difficult to remove as-formed wire-like structures from matrices without damaging or modification of their surfaces. ,,,,, Hence, even if this method is good for manufacturing complex wire-like structures like binary or ternary nanoalloys, it is not convenient for application in large-scale production.…”

Tin Nanoparticles–Enhanced Optical Transportation in Branched CdS Nanowire Waveguides

“…With rising temperature, more Sn droplets deposit onto the pre‐formed Sn clusters thereby forming 1D Sn wires . The growth process is similar to that of other metal nanowires (Fe, Co, Ni, etc.) based on catalyst‐free CVD methods.…”

Multipoint Nanolaser Array in an Individual Core–Shell CdS Branched Nanostructure

“…In contrast, as shown in Figure 1c, a Sn core with a diameter of about 1.59 µm locates at the center of the junction and is encapsulated by the CdS shell proving to be a core–shell nanostructure, which is formed during growth processes and more importantly the Sn core guides the successive growth of CdS branches from the CdS backbone. [ 31,32 ] Finally, the Sn nanoparticles remain in the junctions. [ 29 ] The diameter is much larger than that of guided wavelength of band‐edge emission, which is benefitted to the light reflection and scattering to confine the light between junctions.…”
