Electrically Controlled Catalytic Nanowire Growth from Solution

Electric‐field‐induced catalytic growth of cadmium selenide nanowires from solution is demonstrated. Our approach highlights the importance of electric field and surface‐charge density for catalytic nanowire growth. In addition, this method is compatible with conventional silicon‐based technology, a...

Description
Summary:Electric‐field‐induced catalytic growth of cadmium selenide nanowires from solution is demonstrated. Our approach highlights the importance of electric field and surface‐charge density for catalytic nanowire growth. In addition, this method is compatible with conventional silicon‐based technology, and we demonstrate in situ device fabrication at temperatures below 300 °C.
