Journal ArticleDOI
Novel fabrication of an SnO2 nanowire gas sensor with high sensitivity
TL;DR: A nanowire-based gas sensor is fabricated using a simple method of growing SnO(2) nanowires bridging the gap between two pre-patterned Au catalysts, in which the electrical contacts to the Nanowires are self-assembled during the synthesis of the nanOWires.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthetic Control of the Diameter and Length of Single Crystal Semiconductor Nanowires
TL;DR: In this paper, a general synthetic method has been developed to control both the diameter and the length of nanowires during growth by exploiting monodisperse nanocluster catalysts.

The influence of dislocations on crystal growth
TL;DR: In fact, the existence of a critical finite supersaturation for further growth has only been established for a few materials, and then for individual faces of individual crystals, being different from case to case as discussed by the authors.
