One-dimensional (1-D) nanostructures, nanowires and nanotubes, have been the focus of recent scientific research because of structure-related physical and chemical properties and wide potential applications in nanoscale devices with diverse functions. Their interesting electronic, optical, and magnetic properties have led to a wide range of applications in nanoelectronics, optoelectronics, medical diagnostics, catalysis, drug delivery, chemical sensing and many others. This special issue is focused entirely on all topics related to nanowires and nanotubes. We will accept both experimental and theoretical works.
We invite submission of original research and comprehensive review papers to this special issue on the following related topics:
Synthesis of nanowires, nanotubes, nanobelts, etc.
Nanofabrication and processing of nanowires, nanotubes, nanobelts, etc.
Structure analysis at atomic, molecular, and nanometer range
Applications in LEDs, displays, solar cells, batteries, photocatalysts, etc.
Electronic and optoelectronic devices built on nanowires, nanotubes, etc.
All other topics related to nanowires and nanotubes.
