METHOD OF PRODUCING GERMANIUM NANOWIRE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new method which makes it possible to produce a germanium nanowire without requiring the use of a combustible poisonous gas or very high heat loads.SOLUTION: A method of producing a germanium nanowire includes applying a voltage between a cathode and an anode composed of a carbon electrode containing germanium, to generate an arc discharge between both electrodes in a hydrogen containing gas.
