Si3N4 single-crystal nanowires grown from silicon micro and nanoparticles near the threshold of passive oxidation
J. Farjas, C. Rath, A. Pinyol +2
A simple and most promising oxide-assisted catalyst-free method is used to prepare silicon nitride nanowires that give rise to high yield in a short time. After a brief analysis of…

Kinetic study of the oxide-assisted catalyst-free synthesis of silicon nitride nanowires
J. Farjas, A. Pinyol, Chandana Rath +2
The synthesis of Si3N4 nanowires from the reaction of silicon nanoparticles with N2 in the 1200-1440 C temperature range is reported. The nitridation conditions are such that the r…
