Abstract Mass transport driven by temperature gradient is commonly seen in fluids. However, here we demonstrate that when drawing a cold nano-tip off a hot solid substrate, thermomigration can be so rampant that it can be exploited for producing single-crystalline aluminum, copper, silver and tin nanowires. This demonstrates that in nanoscale objects, solids can mimic liquids in rapid morphological changes, by virtue of fast surface diffusion across short distances. During uniform growth, a thin neck-shaped ligament containing a grain boundary (GB) usually forms between the hot and the cold ends, sustaining an extremely high temperature gradient that should have driven even larger mass flux, if not counteracted by the relative sluggishness of plating into the GB and the resulting back stress. This GB-containing ligament is quite robust and can adapt to varying drawing directions and velocities, imparting good controllability to the nanowire growth in a manner akin to Czochralski crystal growth.

The effect of the Nb doping on morphological changes in TiO2 nanorods by hydrothermal growth and its enhanced carrier transport were investigated. The nanorod diameter, film thickness, nucleation density, and photocurrent are discussed.

The interaction of gallium with single crystalline copper surfaces has been investigated by means of high energy glancing angle electron diffraction, transmission microscopy and metallography. Surface structural changes and morphological changes were both recorded. Gallium was deposited in-situ onto both bulk single crystalline copper surfaces and thin film Cu surfaces grown in-situ on (100) NaCl surface inside the HEED apparatus.Cu-Ga alloy films were observed to grow epitaxially at room temperature on clean (111), (001) and (110) copper surfaces. The epitaxial growth was obgerved only with a deposition rate for Ga of approximately 30 A/min. and on clean copper surfaces. No epitaxial growth of Cu-Ga alloy films was observed on surfaces covered with cuprous oxide. Higher deposition rates always gave diffuse ring type patterns. An early stage ordered ʓ h.c.p. phase was observed to grow on Cu (111) face. A later stage Ø tetragonal phase was observed to grow on all three faces of Cu with three orientations on the (111) face, four major orientations on the (001) face and two orientations on the (110) face.
