Notes:
Y-shaped carbon nanowires as a multi-branched carbon nanostructure have potentialapplications in electrical nano-devices. In this paper, we report the synthesis of Y-shaped carbonnanowires obtained from ethanol flames. These Y-shaped carbon nanowires have differentmorphologies from one to another. It is interesting that there are two Y-junctions on individualcarbon nanowires. According to our experimental results, the growth mechanism of Y-shaped carbonnanowires has been discussed and a possible growth model of these Y-shaped carbon nanowires hasbeen proposed
