Abstract
We report polymorph-tuned synthesis of a- and b-Bi2O3 nanowires and their single nanowire micro- Raman study. The single crystalline Bi2O3 nanowires in different phases (a and b) were selectively synthesized by adjusting the heating temperature of Bi precursor in a vapor transport process. No catalyst was employed. Furthermore, at an identical precursor evaporation temperature, a- and b- phase Bi2O3 nanowires were simultaneously synthesized along the temperature gradient at a substrate. The growth direction of a-Bi2O3 nanowires was revealed by polarized Raman single nanowire spectra. For thin b-Bi2O3 nanowires with a very small diameter, the polarized Raman single nanowire spectrum was strongly influenced by the shape effect.
