Microtubule‐Based Gold Nanowires and Nanowire Arrays

Small, 2008
AbstractBiological structures are attractive as templates to form nanoscale architectures for electronics because of their dimensions and the ability to interact with inorganic materials. In this study, we report the fabrication and electrical properties of microtubule (MT)‐templated Au nanowires, and methods for assembling Au nanowire arrays based on ...

Nanowires

2017
This chapter provides a brief overview of mechanisms that influence the localization and the energy levels of carriers in Nanowires (NWs). It aims compare these mechanisms to those that occur in planar layers or quantum dots and discusses specific features of NWs.

Rational design of nanowire solar cells: from single nanowire to nanowire arrays

Nanotechnology, 2019
In this review, we report several rational designs of nanowire-based solar cells from single nanowire to nanowire arrays. Two methods of nanowires fabrication: via 'top-down' and 'bottom-up', and two types of configurations including axial and radial junction are presented for nanowire-based solar cells. To enhance absorption, several photon management

Nanofibers and Nanowires and Nanowires

37th European Conference and Exposition on Optical Communications, 2011
Abstract (100 Word Limit): When its size goes down to the wavelength of the guided light, an optical nanofibre/nanowire exhibits interesting properties such as tight optical confinement, strong near-field interaction, abnormal dispersion, enhanced surface effects and excellent mechanical flexibilities, which opens opportunities for combining waveguide ...

Metallic Glass Nanowire

Nano Letters, 2008
Metallic glass nanowires were spontaneously created on the fracture surfaces that were produced by a conventional mechanical test. The presence of the nanowires is directly related to the one-dimensional meniscus configuration with a small viscosity at high temperatures and to the wide supercooled liquid region of the metallic glass.

GaAs–MnAs nanowires

physica status solidi (b), 2011
AbstractDifferent strategies for obtaining nanowires (NWs) with ferromagnetic properties using the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) grown nanostructures combining GaAs and Mn were investigated. Four types of structures have been studied: (i) self‐catalyzed GaAs:Mn NWs grown at low temperatures on GaAs(100) substrates; (ii) GaAs:Mn NWs grown at high ...

Double Metallocene Nanowires

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2009
The structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of double metallocene nanowires PnM(2) (Pn = C(8)H(6), M = V, Cr, Mn, Co, and Ni) are investigated within the framework of gradient-corrected density functional theory. The PnMn(2) nanowire is predicted to be ferromagnetic while other nanowires are either antiferromagnitic or nonmagnetic. In addition,

Nanowire-based thermoelectrics

Nanotechnology, 2017
Research on thermoelectrics has seen a huge resurgence since the early 1990s. The ability of tuning a material's electrical and thermal transport behavior upon nanostructuring has led to this revival. Nevertheless, thermoelectric performances of nanowires and related materials lag far behind those achieved with thin-film superlattices and quantum dot ...

Crystalline Boron Nanowires

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2002
Ideal nanowire interconnects for nanoelectronics will be refractory, covalently bonded, and highly conductive, irrespective of crystallographic orientation. Theoretical studies suggest that boron nanotubes should be stable and exhibit higher electrical conductivities than those of carbon nanotubes.
