Abstrakt: We have successfully grown the tin oxide (SnO2) fishbone-like nanostructures on titanium nitride (TiN)-coated substrates by the thermal evaporation of Sn powders. X-ray diffraction indicated that the product had the phase structure of the rutile form of SnO2. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that the product consisted of fishbone-like structure, with branches and sub-branches attached to the main stem. High-resolution TEM and selected area diffraction pattern coincidentally indicated that both branches and sub-branches were single crystalline rutile SnO2 structures. Room temperature photoluminescnece (PL) spectrum of the as-synthesized SnO2 nanostructures exhibited peaks associated with the visible light emission. (© 2005 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
