title: High yield solution-liquid-solid synthesis of germanium nanowires.
abstract: High yields of crystalline Ge nanowires were synthesized for the first time in a conventional solvent of trioctylphosphine by disproportionating GeI2 in the presence of Bi nanoparticle growth seeds at 350 degrees C and atmospheric pressure.
