In 2 O 3 nanofibers have been prepared by using a thermal evaporation–oxidation method. The nanofibers generally show rectangular cross sections (see Figure) with different width‐to‐thickness ratios. The photoluminescence spectrum of these nanowires shows light emission in the blue‐green region. By doping with other elements potential applications in opto‐electronic nanodevices and nanosized gas sensors could be achieved.
