Semiconductor nanowires have attracted extensive interest as one of the best-defined
classes of nanoscale building blocks for the bottom-up assembly of functional electronic and …

Silicon is the undisputed leader for microelectronics among all the industrial materials and
Si nanostructures flourish as natural candidates for tomorrow's technologies due to the rising …

The trend predicted by Moore's law sets forth strict requirements on the electronic properties
of materials that cannot always be satisfied by conventional semiconductors. Thus, the last …

The recent SARS‐CoV‐2 pandemic has highlighted the urgent need for novel point‐of‐care
devices to be promptly used for a rapid and reliable large screening analysis of several …

Impurity do** of semiconducting nanowires has been predicted to become increasingly
inefficient as the wire diameter is reduced, because impurity states get deeper due to …

We report first-principles calculations of [110] SiGe NWs; we discuss the effect of geometry
and composition on their thermodynamic stability, on their electronic properties, and on the …

Nanostructures are arising as novel biosensing platforms promising to surpass current
performance in terms of sensitivity, selectivity, and affordability of standard approaches …

We demonstrate in this paper the possibility to vertically integrate SiGe nanowires in order to
use them as vertical channel for field-effect transistors (FETs). We report a threshold voltage …

Over the past few years, group IV hexagonal-diamond-type crystals have acquired a lot of
attention in semiconductor physics thanks to the appearance of novel and very effective …
