Special Issues on
Semiconductor Nanowires and Nanotubes: from Fundamentals to Diverse Applications (Tentative)
Call for Papers
The research into one-dimensional semiconductor nanowires can be traced back to 1960s when Wagner proposed the well-known vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth model to explain silicon and germanium microwhiskers growth from metal islands with a feedstock of vapor source. This VLS mechanism was revisited in early 1990s when researchers synthesized a variety of nanowhiskers by a number of groups. Undergone a quick expansion triggered by a series of breakthroughs in later 1990s to early 2000s, semiconductor nanowires has now been developed into a mature field with very active research in several sub-fields such as nanoelectronics, nanophotonics, nanocomposites, biosensing and so forth. Recent exciting progresses such as screw dislocation driven growth mechanism, nanowires for energy applications and nanowire biosensor for intracellular probing suggest that semiconductor nanowires is still a rising field with much room to explore in this decade.
The main focus of this special issue will be on the recent development in mechanistic understanding of the synthesis of semiconductor nanowires and nanotubes, fundamental studies on electrical and optical properties and their applications in nanoelectronics, nanophotonics, solar energy harvesting and biosensing. We are especially interested in research work with highly interdisciplinary nature and approaches.
The topics to be covered in this special issue include, but not limited to the following:
· Novel synthetic approaches, modulated or hybrid heterostructures
· Oriented array of nanowires and nanotubes and their applications
· Hierarchical structures and large scale assembly
· New insights in vapor-liquid-solid and screw dislocation driven nanowire growth mechanisms
· Phenomena related to confined behavior due to quantum size and low dimensionality, such as confined electrons, photons, excitons, phonons etc.
· Nanoelectronics such as 3D integration, memory or high frequency devices
· Nanophotonics such as nanolasers and light-emitting diodes
· New instrumentation or techniques to study nanomaterials
· Semiconductor nanomaterials for energy applications, such as photovoltaics (solar cells and dye-sensitized solar cells), battery, thermoelectricity and photocatalytic conversions
· Biosensing using semiconductor nanomaterials or heterostructures
· Gas sensing properties
