1-D SEMICONDUCTING NANOWIRES AND THEIR ASSEMBLY

Nanowires, the one-dimensional(1D) semiconducting structures are one of the most potent and flexible classes of synthetically reconfigurable nanoscale basic elements widely used for examining the basic physical characteristics of nanomaterials and assembling a range of functional nanostructure systems. To design these functional nanostructure systems, it is critical to guarantee that the synthesis of these structures, as well as their assembly, are exceedingly exact and precise. The synthesis and assembly of these nanostructures is what defines the success of the nanostructure systems. Nanowire assembly is challenging because the required length scales prohibit direct interaction and increase the instability aspects of electrostatic forces and mass transfer. This paper focuses on the different core assembly methodologies of one-dimensional semiconductor nanowires into desired designs for functional nanostructure systems.
