Abstract.

High-yield synthesis of amorphous silicon oxide nanoropes (SiONRs) was achieved by using simple evaporation and oxidation of Si. Transmission electron microscopy observations show that the amorphous SiONRs have a length of up to several hundreds of micrometers and a diameter of 20 to 40 nm. Energy-dispersive X-ray analysis reveals that the SiONRs consist of Si and O elements in an atomic ratio of approximately 1:1.2. The formation process of the SiONRs is closely related to a vapor–solid method. The SiONRs emit blue light at energies of 2.53 and 3.0 eV.
