Biosensing Using Arrays of Vertical Semiconductor Nanowires: Mechanosensing and Biomarker Detection
摘要： Due to their high aspect ratio and increased surface to foot-print area, arrays of vertical semiconductor nanowires are used in numerous biological applications, such as cell transfection and biosensing. Here we focus on two specific, valuable biosensing approaches that, so far, have received relatively limited attention in terms of their potential capabilities: cellular mechanosensing and lightguiding-induced enhanced fluorescence detection. Although proposed a decade ago, these two applications for using vertical nanowire arrays have only very recently achieved significant breakthroughs, both in terms of understanding their fundamental phenomena, and in the ease of their implementation. We review the status of the field in these areas and describe significant findings and potential future directions.

[Nanostructure Science and Technology] Nanowire Electronics || Metal-Semiconductor Compound Contacts to Nanowire Transistors
摘要： Semiconductor nanowires [1–4] are promising building blocks for next-generation ultrascaled devices for electronic [5–7] and optoelectronic [8–10] applications. An important aspect for the development, maturity, and ef?ciency of these ultrascaled devices is the detailed understanding of and control over the phase transformation that accompanies the formation of their compound contacts for lithography-free self-aligned gate design [11, 12]. The term “compound” here refers to the formed phases that have ?xed stoichiometry between metal and semiconductor elements, to be distinguished from the broader “alloy” term for phases that may include nonstoichiometric or amorphous structure. This distinction is important because the formation of a low resistance, crystalline, and thermally stable compound contact is most preferred for realizing reliable functionality in ultrascaled semiconductor transistors. Usually, the phase of compound contact and its interfacial property with semiconductor nanowire (NW) can largely affect the band alignment and charge injection in NW channels. This demands the detailed studies of the metal-semiconductor solid-state reactions, including the formed compound phases, reaction kinetics, and their correlation to the device performances. In this book chapter, we provide a thorough discussion of these three topics.

European Microscopy Congress 2016: Proceedings || Insight on the fine structure of semiconductor nanowires down to single atom detection: correlation to their physical properties
摘要： Nanotechnology allows modifying the structure of nanoobjects down to the atomic scale. Low dimensional quantum structures can be embedded in a nanowire system in order to modify its properties at will. Electronic and optoelectronic devices benefit from the new advances in growth methodologies, with a fine control of the elemental species locally deposited. In the present work, we will present how an accurate knowledge on the atomic positions, down to single atom detection, may help to deeply understand the improved properties of our complex nanowire heterostructures. We will show how from scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), it is possible to obtain precise 3D atomic models that can be used as input for the simulation of its physical properties. Finally, these theoretical properties will be cross-correlated to the experimental measurements obtained locally on our nanowire systems. Some of the presented works will include: the effect of the isotope distribution on the phononic behavior of nanowires, the measurement of the internal electric fields in quantum structures and the influence of doping on the compensation of the polarization field, or the influence of polarity and the atomic arrangement on the photonic and electronic properties of single heterostructured nanowires.
