We investigate by first-principles pseudopotential calculations the structural properties and
the energetics of undoped and Si-doped unpassivated GaAs nanowires (NWs). On the basis …

Using anodic aluminum oxide membranes as the nanoreactors and controller, oriented
nanowire arrays of the diluted magnetic semiconductor Mn-doped CuO have been …

Semiconductor nanowires, based on silicon (Si) or germanium (Ge) are leading candidates
for many ICT applications, including next generation transistors, optoelectronics, gas and …

We synthesized Ge and Ge1− x M x (M= Mn, Co, and Fe, x≤ 0.4) nanowires using the
thermal vapor transport method. All of the nanowires consisted of single-crystalline Ge …

First-principles study on the energetic stability, electronic structure, and magnetic coupling in
Mn-doped silicon with various configurations has been performed systematically. The results …

Incorporating spin functionality into a semiconductor core–shell nanowire that offers
immunity from the substrate effect is a highly desirable step for its application in next …

We studied the effect of quantum confinement in Mn-doped InAs nanocrystals using
theoretical methods. We observe that the stability of the impurities decreases with the size of …

We present first-principles calculation of Mn-doped silicon nanowires. We discuss the
energetics of both isolated point defects and Mn dimers, where a different behavior of the …

The energetics, electronic and magnetic properties of 3d transition-metal (TM) atoms
adsorbed low-dimensional Ge honeycomb structures have been systematically investigated …

Ge nanowires were grown on Au-coated Si (100) substrates using vapor-liquid-solid
technique. Temperature dependent photoluminescence spectra of Mn doped nanowires …
