Author:Thabethe, S; Arendse, CJ; Mwakikunga, Bonex WDate:Dec 2014Advanced core–shell FeSi@SiO(subx) nanowires are observed when FeCl(sub3) vapour is made to flow over a SiO(sub2)/Si substrate at 1100 degress C. The thickness of the SiO(subx) sheath (d0) is found to depend inversely as the period of time ...Read more
Author:Thabethe, S; Linganiso, E; Motaung, D; Mashapa, MG; Nkosi, S; Arendse, CJ; Mwakikunga, Bonex WDate:Nov 2013The procedures for the synthesis of amorphous e-FeSi/Si core–shell nanofibres by vapour transport in a CVD configuration are reported. Crystallite studies by the Williamson-Hall method show the sizes to be typically about 8.0 nm which agrees ...Read more
