Abstract

There are many different routes for the synthesis of one-dimensional and quasi-two-dimensional structures of nanomaterials. These include the chemical vapor deposition (CVD), the physical vapor deposition, the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), the pulsed laser deposition, the solvothermal synthesis, the arc discharge, the sol–gel synthesis, and the chemical beam epitaxy. Salient features of all these routes have been described. The strengths and weaknesses of them have been elucidated. The differences between the chemical vapor deposition and the physical vapor deposition have been presented. Among various routes, the CVD and the MBE routes are most widely employed. Important variants of both of them have been narrated. The differences between the CVD and the MBE routes have been detailed. Various means to perform controlled synthesis employing the CVD and the MBE routes have been explained.
