One-dimensional semiconductor nanostructures have been studied in great depth over the
past number of decades as potential building blocks in electronic, thermoelectric …

Trend of using miniaturized sensors in various fields is rapidly growing. Related sensing
surface topology can crucially affect the performance of a sensor by affecting various …

Ge nanowires exhibit wide application potential in the fields of nanoscale devices due to
their excellently optical and electrical properties. This article reviews the recent progress and …

Synthesis of nanostructures of uniform size is fundamental because the size distribution
directly affects their physical properties. We present experimental data demonstrating a …

Si and Ge have the same crystalline structure, and although Si-Au and Ge-Au binary alloys
are thermodynamically similar (same phase diagram, with the eutectic temperature of about …

Using in-situ microscopy, we show that germanium nanowires can be grown by a vapor-
liquid-solid process in< 110> directions both on Ge (100) and Ge (111) substrates if very low …

We report a novel method for obtaining ordered arrays of self-assembled Ge nanowires
(NWs) using Au seed catalysts, with the latter deposited using a focused ion beam (FIB). For …

We show that the hexagonal cross-section of germanium nanowires grown in the< 110>
direction by physical vapor deposition is a consequence of minimization of surface energy of …

Catalyst free Germanium (Ge) nanowires (NW) and thin film (TF) have been synthesized by
employing GLAD technique inside an electron-beam evaporator. X-ray diffraction patterns …

Germanium nanowires (NWs) were grown onto Ge (111) substrates by the vapor-liquid-solid
process using gold droplets. The growth was carried out in a molecular beam epitaxy …
