This paper proposes a method for creating silicon nanotubes in electric arc plasma, by evaporating the anode material and collection it on the cathode. During the experiments, various types of power sources were tested. Silicon nanotubes of complex configuration in the form of a straight stem with cylindrical branch and single-wall curved nanotubes were obtained. The obtained nanotubes will be able to find further application in light-emittingdiodes, lithium-ion batteries, and photovoltaics.
