Abstract
Coaxial nanocables with a single-crystalline zinc telluride (ZnTe) nanowire core and an amorphous silicon oxide (SiOx) shell have been synthesized via a simple one-step chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method on gold-decorated silicon substrates. The single-crystal ZnTe nanowire core is in zinc-blende structure along the [111] direction, while the uniform SiOx shell fully covers the core with no observable pin-hole or crack. Formation mechanisms of the ZnTe–SiOx nanocables are discussed. The ZnTe nanowire core shows p-type electrical properties while the SiOx shell acts as an effective insulating layer. The ZnTe–SiOx nanocables may have potential applications in nanoscale devices, such as p-type FETs and nanosensors.
