Researchers peer into nanowires to measure dopant properties

Thursday, April 2, 2009 - 09:14 in Physics & Chemistry

Semiconductor nanowires - tiny wires with a diameter as small as a few billionths of a metre - hold promise for devices of the future, both in technology like light-emitting diodes and in new versions of transistors and circuits for next generation of electronics. But in order to utilise the novel properties of nanowires, their composition must be precisely controlled, and researchers must better understand just exactly how the composition is determined by the synthesis conditions...
