  2. Nanowire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanowire

    A nanowire is a nanostructure in the form of a wire with the diameter of the order of a nanometre (10 −9 m). More generally, nanowires can be defined as structures that have a thickness or diameter constrained to tens of nanometers or less and an unconstrained length.

  3. Silicon nanowire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_nanowire

    Silicon nanowires, also referred to as SiNWs, are a type of semiconductor nanowire most often formed from a silicon precursor by etching of a solid or through catalyzed growth from a vapor or liquid phase. Such nanowires have promising applications in lithium-ion batteries, thermoelectrics and sensors.

  4. Vapor–liquid–solid method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor–liquid–solid_method

    One-dimensional crystalline nanowires are then grown by a liquid metal-alloy droplet-catalyzed chemical or physical vapor deposition process, which takes place in a vacuum deposition system. Au-Si droplets on the surface of the substrate act to lower the activation energy of normal vapor-solid growth.

  5. Superconducting nanowire single-photon detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting_nanowire...

    A number of companies worldwide are successfully commercializing complete single-photon detection systems based on superconducting nanowires, including Single Quantum, Photon Spot, Scontel, Quantum Opus, ID Quantique, PhoTec and Pixel Photonics.

  6. Molecular wire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_wire

    Most types of molecular wires are derived from organic molecules. One naturally occurring molecular wire is DNA.Prominent inorganic examples include polymeric materials such as Li 2 Mo 6 Se 6 [1] and Mo 6 S 9−x I x, [2] [3] [4] [Pd 4 (CO) 4 (OAc) 4 Pd(acac) 2], [5] and single-molecule extended metal atom chains (EMACs) which comprise strings of transition metal atoms directly bonded to each ...

  7. Bacterial nanowires - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_Nanowires

    Bacterial nanowires (also known as microbial nanowires) are electrically conductive appendages produced by a number of bacteria most notably from the Geobacter and Shewanella genera. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Conductive nanowires have also been confirmed in the oxygenic cyanobacterium Synechocystis PCC6803 and a thermophilic , methanogenic coculture ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanocircuitry

    These include Nanowires, Single-Electron Transistors, Quantum dot cellular automata, and Nanoscale Crossbar Latches. However, likely nearer-term approaches will involve incorporation of nanomaterials to improve MOSFETs (metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors).

  9. Nanowire battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanowire_battery

    A nanowire battery uses nanowires to increase the surface area of one or both of its electrodes, which improves the capacity of the battery.Some designs (silicon, germanium and transition metal oxides), variations of the lithium-ion battery have been announced, although none are commercially available.
