MOVPE Self-Assembly and Physical Properties of Free-Standing III-V Nanowires

Growth of single-crystalline cubic structured tin(ii) sulfide (SnS) nanowires by chemical vapor deposition

“…As discussed in the literature about the growth of nanostructures by CVD technique, the variation in diameter of nanowires strongly attributed to growth kinetics of nanostructures. 38 It reveals that the growth rate along the axial direction of SnS could be high at around 650 C due to lower nucleation barrier on the top facet of nanowires than the vertical sidewalls. This greatly lengthens the nanowires much faster along their axial direction.…”

Analysis of amorphous indium-gallium-zinc-oxide thin-film transistor contact metal using Pilling-Bedworth theory and a variable capacitance diode model

“…28), Pilling-Bedworth ratio (R P-B ) (e.g., see Refs. [17][18][19] has been stated (Note: q IGZO is noted to be 6.27 g cm À3 from literature (e.g., see Ref. 20)) and intrinsic mechanical stress (assumed from literature for thin films).…”

“…The ideal R P-B is 1, but protective coatings normally form for metals having R P-B between 1 and 2. 17,19 The charge build-up due to the oxidation and applied bias leads to a complex and variable bias-dependent capacitance diode (varactor) underneath the contact. Therefore, the contact metal/metal-oxide interface has important significance in controlling the behavior of the overall TFT device.…”

Metal Catalyst for Low-Temperature Growth of Controlled Zinc Oxide Nanowires on Arbitrary Substrates

“…A bottom-up synthetic approach can offer multiple novel design-by-choice schemes to facilitate the compact assembly of multifunctional components on a substrate. Complex components can be constructed with desired properties, including electronic, photonic, biological, energetic, piezoelectric, and magnetic properties, with novel functionalities such as quantum confinement effects and high surface-to-volume ratios 1 2 3 . Recently, zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires have been widely studied because of their superior electrical, mechanical, and optical properties 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 .…”
