Abstract
Alpha germanium nitride (α-Ge 3N 4) nanowires were prepared through an oxide-assisted method. It was found that the produced nanowires are long, uniform and smooth with diameters of 20–200 nm and lengths of several tens of micrometers. The α-Ge 3N 4 nanowires were characterized in detail. The observations reveal that the α-Ge 3N 4 nanowires are crystalline and free of defects. The growth mechanism of the nanowires was also proposed. This method is an efficient way for producing Ge 3N 4 nanowires and could also be employed to fabricate other nanowires.
