In this article, we report the synthesis of single-crystalline nickel silicide nanowires (NWs) via chemical vapor deposition method using NiCl2·6H2O as a single-source precursor. Various morphologies of δ-Ni2Si NWs were successfully acquired by controlling the growth conditions. The growth mechanism of the δ-Ni2Si NWs was thoroughly discussed and identified with microscopy studies. Field emission measurements show a low turn-on field (4.12 V/μm), and magnetic property measurements show a classic ferromagnetic characteristic, which demonstrates promising potential applications for field emitters, magnetic storage, and biological cell separation.
本文通过化学气相沉积法,以 NiCl2·6H2O 为单一源前驱体,合成了单晶镍硅化物纳米线(NWs)。通过控制生长条件,成功获得了不同形貌的 δ-Ni2Si NWs。通过显微镜研究,深入探讨并确定了 δ-Ni2Si NWs 的生长机制。场发射测量显示出较低的开启场(4.12 V/μm),磁性测量显示出典型的铁磁性特征,这表明其在场发射体、磁存储和生物细胞分离等方面具有潜在的应用前景。
