Abstract :
The metal oxide nanorods are widely studied, as the electronic characteristics of the metal oxide nanorods are different from the electronic characteristics of bulk metal oxide. Tungsten oxide nanorods are one of the metal oxide semiconductors can be easily made. Therefore considering its semiconducting properties it is applied for electrical devices. But the growth mechanism of the tungsten oxide nanorods is not clarified yet, and growth control of tungsten oxide nanorods is not succeeded. Then, the tungsten oxide nanorods growth process was observed by Environmental transmission electron microscope (ETEM) observation, and the growth mechanism was examined.
