| Abstract | Cu Nanoparticles on TiN coated silicon substrates were prepared from well-defined molecular precursors [CuOtBu]4 in non-aqueous solutions. The formation of nanoparticles takes place via galvanic displacement and allows for the formation of narrowly distributed Cu nanoparticles with controlled size ranging from 8 to 35 nm through the control of the oxidation state of the TiN surface. The activity of these nanoparticles arrays in low temperature Si nanowires growth by the vapor-solid-solid mechanism was also investigated and larger Cu nanoparticles were found to yield higher Si nanowires density. © 2017 Wiley-VHCA AG, Zurich, Switzerland |
