Abstract
AbstractSmall Au nanoparticles with a confined size are synthesized exclusively inside the protein cavity of apoferritin (Au‐apo). A modified immobilization process is used to decorate a large area of a Si substrate with monodisperse Au‐apo. After removing the protein, the immobilized Au nanoparticles act as catalysts for a subsequent sub‐10 nm diameter silicon nanowire (SiNW) growth by CVD. The immobilization of Au catalysts by linking the biotemplate to a Si substrate provides a possible route to control the location of the semiconductor NW in advance of the growth.
