Transformation of a SiC nanowire into a carbon nanotube.
A SiC nanowire can be transformed into a carbon nanotube or a SiC-C core-sheath nanowire owing to Joule heating by applying a current typically on the order of 10 muA, and the transformation can be observed in situ by means of transmission electron microscopy.
