Fabrication of -GaO Nanotubes via Sacrificial GaSb-Nanowire Templates.

-GaO nanostructures are attractive wide-band-gap semiconductor materials as they exhibit promising photoelectric properties and potential applications. Despite the extensive efforts on -GaO nanowires, investigations into -GaO nanotubes are rare since the tubular structures are hard to synthesize. In this paper, we report a facile method for fabricating -GaO nanotubes using pre-synthesized GaSb nanowires as sacrificial templates.

Hydrothermal Synthesis of Te Nanosheets: Growth Mechanism and Electrical Property.

Hydrothermal synthesis is a highly efficient way to yield multiform Te nanosheets. However, the growth mechanisms and property discrepancies between different types of Te nanosheets are still unclear. In this paper, we perform an investigation on this issue by monitoring the hydrothermally synthesized Te nanosheets at different growth stages with transmission electron microscopy and electrical tests.
