Synthesis of silicon nanowires and nanoparticles by arc-discharge in water.
Si nanowires of diameters 5-20 nm and nanoparticles of approximately 4 nm were synthesized by a simple arc-discharge method in water. The TEM analysis reveals that the growth direction of the observed Si nanowires is parallel to the {111} crystal planes.
