X-ray analysis of Ag nanoparticles on Si wafer and influence of Ag nanoparticles on Si nanowire-based gas sensor

The dopant (n- and p-type)-, band gap-, size- and stress-dependent field electron emission of silicon nanowires

“…Si NWs are widely explored by various research groups due to their potential applications in numerous fields such as thermoelectric materials, 1 optoelectronics, 2 photonics, 3 solar cells, 4 gas sensing, 5 field-effect transistors, 6 photodetectors, 7 lithium-ion batteries, 8 thermo-electric materials, 9 and nano-electronic power sources. 10 Moreover, Si NWs are utilized as a heterojunction layer with graphene and metal oxide NWs for various optoelectronics and field emitter applications.…”
