RT Journal Article T1 GeO_2 nanowires and nanoneedles grown by thermal deposition without a catalyst A1 Hidalgo Alcalde, Pedro A1 Méndez Martín, María Bianchi A1 Piqueras De Noriega, Francisco Javier AB Thermal treatment of compacted GeO_2 powder under argon flow leads to the growth of a dense distribution of microwires and nanowires on the sample surface. Extended treatment causes the formation of more complex structures, including arrays of nanoneedles. Enhanced cathodoluminescence emission is associated with the wires and needles, which show a component at 2.72 eV not observed. for the untreated material.
