Based on atomistic calculations of electron and phonon transport, we propose to use surface-
decorated silicon nanowires for thermoelectric applications. Two examples of surface …

A facile, rapid, and nondestructive technique for determining the thermal conductivity of
individual nanowires based on Raman temperature map** has been demonstrated. Using …

Device applications of tapered Si nanowire (SiNW) arrays require reliable technological
approaches for fabricating nanowires with controlled shape and orientation. In this study, we …

This work focuses on the synthesis and interfacial characterization of gold nanostructures on
silicon surfaces, including Si (111), Si (100), and Si nanowires. The synthetic approach uses …

The temperature dependence of the Stokes first-order optical phonon frequency has been
measured for individual silicon nanowires with diameters between 33 to 180 nm in the …

Several hundred million volts per centimetre of electric-field strength are required to field-
ionize gas species. Such fields are produced on sharp metallic tips under a bias of a few …

We synthesized composites consisting of silicon nanowires (SiNWs) coated with magnesium
(Mg) and magnesium silicide (Mg2Si) for lithium-ion battery anodes and studied their …

The fabrication of radial junction silicon (Si) solar cells using Si wire arrays grown by Au-
catalyzed vapor-liquid-solid growth on patterned Si substrates was demonstrated. An …

The field of silicon nanowires (SiNWs) and silicon-based 1D nanostructured
heterostructures represent one of the most important research subjects within the …

Silicon nanotrees (SiNTrs) have been grown by Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) via gold
catalysis and a three steps process: trunks and branches growth are separated by a new …
