Abstract

One dimensional (1D) nanostructures, including nanowires, nanorods, nanobelts, and nanotubes, have been the focus of current research on nanotechnology because of their fundamental significance in chemistry, physics, materials science and engineering, and potential applications in nanoelectronics. We have synthesized Te-rich $Sb_xTe_{1-x}$ nanowires and nanotubes via thermal evaporation method under vapor-solid mechanism. The physical morphology and chemical composition of the fabricated nanowires and nanotubes were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX).
