Carbon nanotubes are graphene sheets rolled-up into cylinders with diameters as small as
one nanometer. Extensive work carried out worldwide in recent years has revealed the …

Transistors have continuously reduced in size and increased in switching speed since their
invention in 1947. The exponential pace of transistor evolution has led to a revolution in …

Single-crystal n-type and p-type silicon nanowires (SiNWs) have been prepared and
characterized by electrical transport measurements. Laser catalytic growth was used to …

Room-temperature single-electron transistors are realized within individual metallic single-
wall carbon nanotube molecules. The devices feature a short (down to∼ 20 nanometers) …

The modification of the material surface by the second-phase particles enables the electron
interaction on the Fermi level or the energy band between different materials, which can …

Unique and most comprehensive textbook covering the entire field of nanosciences
Interdsiciplinary textbook covering the physical, biologal, medical and engineering aspects …

By tailoring the boundary of a narrow semiconductor channel to break its symmetry, we have
realized a type of nanometer-scale nonlinear device, which we refer to as self-switching …

Nanotechnology is a culmination of many facets of scientific and technological
developments in the nanorealm, including nanofabrication, nanomachineries, quantum …

A “Roadmap” is an extended look at the future of a chosen field of inquiry composed from
the collective knowledge of researchers in that field. The composition of a roadmap can …

In this review, we describe recent progress made in the study of nanoparticles characterized
by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS). Basic …
