Existing models of electrical contacts are often inapplicable at the nanoscale because there
are significant differences between nanostructures and bulk materials arising from unique …

Chemical, physical, biological and materials engineering disciplines use a variety of
chiroptical spectroscopies to probe geometrical and optical asymmetry in molecules and …

Nanophase mixtures, leveraging the complementary strengths of each component, are vital
for composites to overcome limitations posed by single elemental materials. Among these …

One-dimensional (1D) nanoobjects have strongly anisotropic physical properties which are
averaged out and cannot be exploited in disordered systems. The goal of the present review …

Photo (electro)-piezo catalysis has emerged as one of the most effective strategies for
sustainable environmental remediation. While various (nano) materials have been …

Surface states that induce depletion regions are commonly believed to control the transport
of charged carriers through semiconductor nanowires. However, direct, localized optical …

This article reports the fabrication of zinc-oxide (ZnO) single-nanowire (SNW)-based backto-
back Schottky diodes (BBSDs) using microcantilever printed AgNP contact pads. ZnO SNWs …

Synthesis of linked-ZnO nanorods by the aqueous solution method and its electrical
characterization by constructing metal-ZnO nanorod–metal devices are reported. Aluminum …

Highly uniform mono-dispersed ZnO sub-microrods were synthesized under the condition of
a limited injection of Zn divalent ions into an aqueous solution of hexamethylenetetramine at …

We present work on the fabrication and the characterization of ohmic contacts on single zinc
oxide nanowires grown by metalorganic chemical vapour deposition. We demonstrate pre …
