In this work, we report the effects of Sb doping on the optical and electrical properties of the SnO2 nanowires obtained by the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) method. The absorption edges were found to be 3.30 eV and 3.66 eV for ...

We report the conductance calculation of metallic nanowires of different metals under the application of a tensile force. The elongation induced by the tensile force was simulated by means of the canonical Monte Carlo ...

A molecular dynamics study of the effect of a single B2–CuZr precipitate on the mechanical properties of Cu50Zr50 metallic glass nanowires is presented. Four different samples are considered: three with a 2, 4 and 6 nm ...

Nanowires of different metals undergoing elongation were studied by means of canonical Monte Carlo simulations and the embedded atom method representing the interatomic potentials. The presence of a surfactant medium was ...

In this paper, we report on calculations of the orbital overlap between Fe(III) and Cr(III) aquacomplexes and different electrode surfaces: Cu(111), Ag (111), Au(111), Pt(111), and corresponding monatomic wires. The ...

Randomly oriented ZnO nanowire (NW) networks have been grown on thermal SiO2 substrates by the simple carbothermal reaction-assisted thermal evaporation of ZnO. One-dimensional growth was achieved with the aid of Au ...

The element germanium is part of the history of electronic equipment based on semiconductor from its early days with the invention of the transistor, until today with current research related to growth of germanium ...
