title: Preparation and characterization of straight and zigzag AlN nanowires.
abstract: Hexagonal single-crystal AlN nanowires with straight or zigzag morphologies were successfully synthesized by the reaction of aluminum alloy in an ammonia/nitrogen atmosphere at 1100 degrees C. It is found that the crystal tropism of the nanowires is along [0001], whereas the growth directions of the zigzag nanowires shift between [2111] and [2111].
