AbstractTungsten oxide W18 O49 nanowires with diameters of 10-20 nm were synthesized with high yield by thermal evaporation in a tube furnace. By heating tungsten trioxide powder at 900 °C in vacuum (5× 10-3 torr), W18 O49 nanowires with diameters of 10-20 nm and lengths up to micrometers were produced with high yield on the Au-coated Si substrates located in the low temperature zone (550-600 °C) of the furnace. The morphology, composition, and crystal structure of the nanowires were characterized by various methods. The conditions and the mechanism of W18 O49 nanowire growth are discussed. © 2007 American Institute of Physics.
