Abstrakt: Various amorphous SiO[sub x] nanotube structures nucleated by GeO[sub x] nanoparticles were synthesized by thermal evaporation method. The presence of Ge does not only nucleate the growth of the SiO[sub x] nanomaterials, but also dopes them. The nanostructure morphology is affected by the substrate temperature, source temperature and GeO[sub x] vapor density through their effect on the size and lifetime of the nucleation center. In general, low substrate temperature promotes the formation of the nanotube bundle structure with 2-3% atomic ratio of Ge doping, and high temperature produces Ge-free much less bundled nanotubes.
