Nanowires are an exciting class of novel materials that have potential applications in areas including biological sensing, photonics, and electronics. The promise of these future applications relies on the production of ...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have become a popular area of materials science research due to their outstanding material properties coupled with their small size. CNTs are expected to be included in a wide variety of applications ...

We have assembled tin dioxide nanobelts with low-power microheaters for detecting dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP), a nerve agent simulant. The electrical conductance of a heated nanobelt increased for 5% upon exposure ...

Nanobelts are a group of materials that have a rectangle-like cross section with typical widths of several hundred nanometers, width-to-thickness ratios of 5–10, and lengths of hundreds of micrometers. In this letter, ...

Motivated by a desire to understand the basic concepts of one-dimensional nanostructure growth, the research described in this thesis aims at understanding the basic mechanisms controlling the synthesis and formation of a ...

In this paper, a novel nano-scale conductive film which combines the advantages of both traditional anisotropic conductive adhesives/films (ACAs/ACFs) and nonconductive adhesives/films (NCAs/NCFs) is introduced for next ...

Semiconducting oxide nanobelts of ZnO have been sectioned and manipulated, for microelectromechanical systems, using an atomic force microscopy probe. Structurally modified nanobelts demonstrate potential for nanocantilever ...

Elevated temperature synthesis has been used to generate virtually defect free SiO₂sheathed crystalline silicon nanowires and silica (SiO₂) nanospheres which can be agglomerated to wire-like configurations impregnated with ...

Nanotechnology and nanoscience are experiencing rapid development in the last decade. Intensive research has been carried out on nanostructures synthesis and nanodevices fabrication. Due to its small size, a nanodevice ...
