Si/a-Si core−shell NWs were grown using methods similar to other core−shell heterostructure NW growth.10The Si core was grown at 435 °C for 20 min using silane (2 sccm) and 100 ppm of diborane in helium (10 sccm) at 20 torr, yielding an axial growth rate of about 1 μm per minute. The a-Si shell was grown at 450 °C for 5 min at 15 torr using the same reactant flow rate. The growth rate of the a-Si shell is about 1 nm per minute. Growth of NWs used for control experiments omitted the shell growth step. The as-grown NWs were dispersed in ethanol by sonication. HRTEM characterization (JEOL 2010F) was performed with the NWs deposited on copper grids.

      "unstructured": "Si/a-Si core\u2212shell NWs were grown using methods similar to other core\u2212shell heterostructure NW growth.10The Si core was grown at 435 \u00b0C for 20 min using silane (2 sccm) and 100 ppm of diborane in helium (10 sccm) at 20 torr, yielding an axial growth rate of about 1 \u03bcm per minute. The a-Si shell was grown at 450 \u00b0C for 5 min at 15 torr using the same reactant flow rate. The growth rate of the a-Si shell is about 1 nm per minute. Growth of NWs used for control experiments omitted the shell growth step. The as-grown NWs were dispersed in ethanol by sonication. HRTEM characterization (JEOL 2010F) was performed with the NWs deposited on copper grids."
