title: Vapor-liquid-solid growth of silicon nanowires using organosilane as precursor.
abstract: Utilizing monophenylsilane as the precursor and liquid injection chemical vapor deposition (LICVD) as the fabrication method offers a novel synthetic approach for the facile, ambient pressure, and continuous vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) synthesis of high quality Si nanowires.
