Semiconductor, Nanowires and Properties of Nanowires

Abstract

Semiconductor nanowires guarantee to give the structure squares to another age of nanoscale electronic and optoelectronic gadgets and display novel electronic and optical properties inferable from their special underlying one-dimensionality and conceivable quantum confinement impacts in two measurements. With an expansive choice of creations and band structures, these one-dimensional semiconductor nanostructures are viewed as the basic segments in a wide scope of potential nanoscale device applications. This review paper explains the basic properties showed by semiconductor nanowires. Novel properties including nanowire miniature hole lasing, phonon transport, interfacial security, and synthetic detecting are reviewed.
