Popis: | Single crystalline nanorods (15–200 nm in diameter and hundreds nanometers in length) have been formed on the carbon-covered W wires by simple electric heating under a vacuum of 5 × 10−4Pa. The chemical composition and crystalline structure of the nanorods were carefully investigated by various characterization techniques such as scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy and electron energy loss spectroscopy. After ruling out any possible existence of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), tungsten carbide, W–Fe alloying, and formation of other types of tungsten oxides, monoclinic W18O49phase has been well identified. The mechanism of nanorod formation of sub-tungsten oxide (∼WO2.7compared to WO3) will be discussed in relation to the sample preparation conditions. |
