Puteh Department of Physics, University of Malaya, 50603 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia In this report, nanowires of Zn2SiO4 and SnO2 have been successfully synthesized using a simple novel method namely thermal ramping technique. The technique applies thermal ramping of the sample to a temperature of 900 oC using carbothermal reduction method. This technique requires no carrier gas. Elemental analysis and crystal structure were evaluated using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) , Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) and X-ray Diffraction(XRD) analysis. Nanowires of SnO2 and Zn2SiO4 with diameter ranging from 15-25 nm were observed. The effect of Au thickness in synthesizing Zn2SiO4 is also discussed. 09 2011 64 67 10.14331/ijfps.2011.330016 https://www.fundamentaljournals.com/index.php/ijfps/article/view/17
