core–shell nanowires with different shapes: Synthesis and field emission properties

Chemistry of one dimensional silicon carbide materials: Principle, production, application and future prospects

“…Field emission is one of the most fascinating properties of one-dimensional SiC nanostructured materials and has been extensively studied due to its importance both in view of fundamental science and in high-tech applications [10,67,114,181,187,189,233]. Field emission was investigated based on the SiCNWs deposited on a platinum film.…”

Core‐shell SiC/SiO2 heterostructures in nanowires

“…In this regard, 1D SiC/SiO 2 nanostructures with crystalline SiC core and amorphous SiO 2 shell are ideal semiconductor‐insulator heterostructures in the radial direction. The formation of such 1D heterostructures becomes increasingly important in the building blocks of complex electronic and photonic nanodevices due to excellent properties of both SiC nanowires and SiO 2 nanostructures 17–19.…”

Silicon carbide- from synthesis to application: a review

“…In terms of size, SiC is light weight and normally has low dimensionality so it is commonly available in nano size devices [8]. This type of material achieved high evaluations in terms of mechanical strength [19], hardness [21], thermal stability [15] and conductivity [23], good thermal shock resistance [24] with low thermal expansion coefficient [9] and good wear resistance [21], [23].…”

“…On the other hand, in electronic properties and application, it is well known as a wide band gap material. 2H-SiC possessed the largest band gap among them compared to other polytypes like 3C-SiC, 4H-SiC, and 6H-SiC [3], [8], [12], [13], [17]. The simulation prediction done by Monte Carlo showed higher electron mobility in 2H-SiC than other polytypes [25].…”

“…However, only low dimensionality like zero dimensional (0D), one dimensional (1D), two dimensional (2D) and three dimensional (3D) have taken the interest of researchers to explore. Since the majority of research works related to nanostructure are focusing on 1D [5], the various types of 1D-nanostructure have been established with many synthesization techniques developed from time to time including the sol-gel [12], vapor-liquid-solid [8], vapor-solid [2], laser ablation [6] and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) methods [9]. Among the various types of 1D nanostructure materials available, their specific names were classified based on their unique shapes and sizes such as nanowires, nanorods, nanocables, nanotubes and nanobelts [7], [8].…”
