DescriptionNanotechnology production has exploded in the last five years, due in no small part to its rapidly increasing impact in the area of commercial electronics, much of that made possible by the development of nanowires. Providing researchers and product developers with essential information on both popular and emerging varieties, this workcovers their growth, characterization, and properties. It looks at various types, including semiconducting, metallic, oxide, and includes extensive coverage of applications that are using or are ideal candidates for nanowires in electronics, optoelectronics, field emission, thermoelectric devices, and sensors.Table of ContentsIntroductionHistorical Perspective Growth Techniques Liquid-Phase Techniques Vapor-Phase Techniques Bulk Production Methods Future Developments Thermodynamic and Kinetic Aspects of Nanowire Growth Thermodynamic Considerations for Vapor-Liquid-Solid Growth Kinetic Considerations of Nanowire Growth Under VLS Growth Modeling of Nanowire Growth Energetics of Stable Surface Faceting: Silicon Nanowire Example Simulation of Individual Nanowire Growth Modeling of Multiple Nucleation and Growth of One-Dimensional Structures Modeling Nanowire Array Growth Semiconducting Nanowires Silicon Nanowires Germanium Nanowires Catalyst Choice III-V Nanowires Phase Change Materials Phase Change Nanowire Growth Properties Relevant to PRAM Metallic Nanowires Bismuth Nanowires Silver Nanowires Copper Nanowires Nickel Nanowires Zinc Nanowires Oxide Nanowires Synthesis Methodologies Directed Growth and Morphological Control Oxygen Vacancies, Doping and Phase Transformation Nitride Nanowires Synthesis of Group III-Nitride Nanowires Branching of Nanowires Diameter Reduction of III-Nitride Nanowires Direction Dependent Properties |
