Abstract

Highly oriented and uniform-sized Cu₂S nanowire arrays grown on copper substrates have been studied by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Cu₂S nanowires consist of single crystalline cores of Cu₂S and polycrystalline Cu₂O shells. Most Cu₂S nanowires have a similar crystalline orientation and their growth directions were [001]_Cu(2)S as determined by electron diffraction and HRTEM. The orientation relationship between Cu₂S crystalline core and Cu₂O crystals in the shells was determined to be (100)_Cu(2)S∥(110)_Cu(2)O and [010]_Cu(2)S∥〈111〉_Cu(2) _O. The nucleation and growth process of Cu₂S nanowires were interpreted by oxide-assisted growth mechanism.
