摘要
For the first time, phase-pure beta-FeSi2 nanoparticles were successfully produced by gasphase synthesis. We present a method to fabricate larger quantities of semiconducting beta-FeSi2 nanoparticles, with crystallite sizes between 10 and 30 nm, for solar and thermoelectric applications utilizing a hot-wall reactor. A general outline for the production of those particles by thermal decomposition of silane and iron pentacarbonyl is provided based on kinetic data. The synthesized particles are investigated by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy, providing evidence that the as-prepared materials are indeed b-FeSi2, while revealing morphological characteristics inherent to the nanoparticles created.
