Abstract

In this paper we present a flower-like silicon nanostructure grown by combining the oxidation-assisted growth (OAG) mechanism and the vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) growth mechanism. It is found that the flower-like silicon nanostructures are nucleated initially via the VLS mechanism and then grown on silicon wafer via the OAG mechanism. Furthermore, light emission was observed, which is considered to be the enhanced photothermal effect.
