Novel Methods of Nanoscale Wire Formation

摘要

In recent years, tremendous interest has been generated in the fabrication and characterization of nanoscale structures such as quantum dots and wires. For ex- ample, there is interest in the electronic, magnetic, mechanical, and chemical properties of materials with reduced dimensions. In the case of nanoscale semiconductors, quantum effects are ex- pected to play an increasingly prominent role in the physics of nanostructures, and a new class of electronic and otoelec- tronic devices may be possible.
