One dimensional silicon nanomaterials has become more and more popular for optoelectronic, chemical and bio-chemical devices due to their semi-conducting ability and convenience for chemical modification by different chemical species. In order to achieve these purposes, many efforts have been input to the synthesis of silicon nanowires (SiNWs).
In this study, we successfully fabricated dense, uniform, vertically aligned ZnO NWs on top of DLC films. The NWs’ length, diameter and separation distance were controllable by fine tuning the growth parameters and changing the DLC film deposition temperature… Contents Chapter 1.
Analysis of the chemical/biological species involved in health care is the most important step for diseases diagnosis and new drug screening. Barcoded nano/microparticles are attracting more and more interest for detection and identification of multiplexed chemical/biological species simultaneously. However, the development of
Fabricating nanostructures and tailoring their properties on the nanometer scales by conventional lithographic approaches are challenging. In particular, the creation of nanostructures with good alignment and uniform size, to enable and enhance desirable collective behaviors, is even more difficult. Such difficulties have
NiTi shape memory alloys are promising implant materials due to their shape memory effect and superelasticity. However, the high nickel content has hampered wider applications of the materials. Excessive surface corrosion and wear of NiTi raise health concerns because Ni ions released
For the last decade, one dimensional growth of materials was highly developed. Carbon nanotubes was first synthesized, other nanotubes, nanowires and nanorods were fabricated afterwards. Other than the synthesis, the properties of one dimensional materials were extremely investigated. It was found that
