Abstract
Silicon and germanium nanowires are grown in high density directly from a tin layer evaporated on stainless steel. The nanowires are formed in low cost glassware apparatus using the vapor phase of a high boiling point organic solvent as the growth medium. HRTEM, DFSTEM, EELS, and EDX analysis show the NWs are single crystalline with predominant âŸ̈111âŸ
