Submission
Semiconductor
nanowires as one-dimensional structures and building blocks
for nano-devices have received increasing attention in recent
years. A variety of methods has been employed during these
recent years for the manufacturing of nanowires. Controlling
the one-dimensional growth on a nanometer scale is rather
challenging but offers unique opportunities for combining
materials, manipulating properties, and designing novel devices.
Ways are needed to grow nanowire at the desired position,
with a specific length and diameter, and a controlled material
composition. Developing methods for control of one-dimensional
growth of such nanostructures means to have simultaneous
control over dimensions, morphology, shape, and uniformity
on a nanometer scale.
Tremendous
progress in nanofabrication has been achieved which is
partly based on the development of self-organization
methods for nanostructuring and on template approaches.
Examples include the development of nanosphere lithography,
templates based on porous structures, or nanomanipulation.
The progress in growth has led to the demonstration of
the first successful devices based on nanoscale semiconductors.
All of these advances have generated an intense interest
in the physical, chemical, and material science communities
in developing new nanoscale materials and novel nanoscale
characterization tools, furthering our understanding
of the physics and chemistry of nanoscale phenomena and
developing novel functionalities.
The objective of this symposium is to bring together
scientists and engineers working on nanostructures based
on nanowires to discuss the most recent progress in the
fabrication of these novel nanoscale materials; the current
understanding regarding the structural, electronic, and
optical behaviors of these nanostructures; and the potential
of these nanomaterials for future applications.
