Growth of tin oxide nanotubes by aerial carbothermal evaporation

Applied Physics A volume 97, pages 361–364 (2009)Cite this article

Abstract

One-dimensional nanostructures of tin oxide nanotubes were fabricated by carbothermal evaporation at 900°C in air. The synthesized film was grown on Au-coated (100) Si substrate. Heterogeneous catalysis by Au/Sn droplets assisted the formation of the tin oxide nanotubes of less than 40 nm diameter at Sn vapor pressures around 1.4×10−7 Pa. In order to reduce the nanotube diameter further, an increase in the Sn vapor pressure by changing the source materials’ ratio seemed viable.
