Branched nanostructures of SnO with a single crystalline tetragonal structure in the <110> longitudinal direction were vertically grown on silicon substrates using a low-temperature vapor transport process. The growth mechanism of SnO nanobranches was revealed as a multi-step process of V–L–S(vapor–liquid–solid) growth; initial condensation and coalescence of Sn vapors on the substrate formed a SnO buffer layer and was followed by the self-catalytic V–L–S growth of SnO nanotrunks. Secondly, additional condensation of Sn vapors on the (110) surface of the nanotrunk led to epitaxial growth of nanobranches in the <110> direction by the same self-catalytic V–L–S process.
