III–V Nanowires: Synthesis, Property Manipulations, and Device Applications

Niobates Nanowires: Synthesis, Characterization and Applications

Perovskite oxides such as alkaline niobates crystal possess many interesting properties including piezoelectricity, pyroelectricity, electro-optic and nonlinear optical response (Bhalla et al., 2000). The most common alkaline niobates material is lithium niobate (LiNbO3). Since the discovery of LiNbO3 ferroelectricity (Matthias & Remeika, 1949), its properties are widely exploited by electronic...

Polyindole Nanowires: Synthesis, Characterization and Electrochemical Sensing Property†

Polyindole nanowires were synthesized by oxidative polymerization of indole using ammonium persulphate as oxidant. The structure of polyindole nanowires was confirmed by XRD, FTIR spectroscopy. The FT-IR of polyindole nanowires shows a peak at1480 cm which corresponds to the C-N stretching of the polymer. The morphology was studied by FESEM, which shows that the synthesized polymer has wire-lik...

Semiconducting Oxide Nanowires: Growth, Doping and Device applications

Aligned epitaxial SnO2 nanowires on sapphire: growth and device applications.

Semiconducting SnO2 nanowires have been used to demonstrate high-quality field-effect transistors, optically transparent devices, photodetectors, and gas sensors. However, controllable assembly of rutile SnO2 nanowires is necessary for scalable and practical device applications. Here, we demonstrate aligned, planar SnO2 nanowires grown on A-plane, M-plane, and R-plane sapphire substrates. These...
