  1. A Nanosized Silica Sunflower This scanning electron microscopy image represents an inorganic but vivid silica SUNFLOWER prepared by microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (MPECVD) in a stainless vacuum chamber. If you take a look at the 100-nm-long white scale bar beneath the picture, you will be surprised at how tiny this sunflower is. The sunflower-like morphology can be attributed to the unique assembly of one-dimensional silica (SiOx) nanowires which have very large aspect ratios because of the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth mechanism. The picture was provided by Dr. Ming-Shien Hu who did the CVD experiment in 2004 at Advanced Materials Laboratory led by Drs. Li-Chyong Chen (CCMS, NTU) and Kuei-Shien Chen (IAMS, AS).
