Gold nanowires from silicon nanowire templates [PDF]
We report a simple method for producing gold nanowires (AuNWs) by using silicon nanowires (SiNWs) as templates. Uniform AuNWs were formed in the core of SiNWs, when SiNWs coated with Au were furnace annealed at ∼880 °C at 10−2 Torr. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) examination showed the AuNWs had diameters of ∼10 nm. High-resolution TEM revealed

Mechanical Properties of Silicon Nanowires [PDF]
Abstract Nanowires have been taken much attention as a nanoscale building block, which can perform the excellent mechanical function as an electromechanical device. Here, we have performed atomic force microscope (AFM)-based nanoindentation experiments of silicon nanowires in order to investigate the mechanical properties of silicon nanowires.

Joule-assisted silicidation for short-channel silicon nanowire devices
We report on a technique enabling electrical control of the contact silicidation process in silicon nanowire devices. Undoped silicon nanowires were contacted by pairs of nickel electrodes and each contact was selectively silicided by means of the Joule ...

Electron Mobility in Silicon Nanowires [PDF]
The low-field electron mobility in rectangular silicon nanowire (SiNW) transistors was computed using a self-consistent Poisson-Schr dinger-Monte Carlo solver. The behavior of the phonon-limited and surface-roughness-limited components of the mobility was investigated by decreasing the wire width from 30 nm to 8 nm, the width range capturing a ...

Progress in the application of silicon-based anode nanotechnology in lithium batteries [PDF]
With the development of technology, graphite materials in traditional lithium batteries can no longer meet people’s needs due to their relatively low specific capacity, limited charging and discharging rates, and poor safety.
