Heating Effect on The Ge/GeOX Nanoneckless by Electron Gun in Situ TEM

Uniform Ge/GeOX nanoneckless were synthesized by optimization of experimental conditions in vapor deposition methos. Germanium nanowires decorated with the Germanium oxide spheres formed nanoneckless kind of structure. The as prepared sample was utilized to investigate structural variations in a single nanoneckless by heating it using electron gun in In- Situ TEM. The dynamic alterations of Ge nanowire and GeOX sphere was observed under electron beam irradiation using in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The morphological changes occurred because of a combination of temperature and electron beam effects.
