Supersensitive, fast-response nanowire sensors by using Schottky contacts.
A Schottky barrier can be formed at the interface between a metal electrode and a semiconductor. The current passing through the metal-semiconductor contact is mainly controlled by the barrier height and barrier width. In conventional nanodevices, Schottky contacts are usually avoided in order to enhance the contribution made by the nanowires or nanotubes to the detected signal. We present a ke...

متن کاملPiezotronic effect on the sensitivity and signal level of Schottky contacted proactive micro/nanowire nanosensors.
We demonstrated the first piezoelectric effect on the performance of a pH sensor using an MSM back-to-back Schottky contacted ZnO micro/nanowire device. When the device is subjected to an external strain, a piezopotential is created in the micro/nanowire, which tunes the effective heights of the Schottky barriers at the local contacts, consequently increasing the sensitivity and signal level of...
متن کاملPiezo-phototronic effect enhanced visible and ultraviolet photodetection using a ZnO-CdS core-shell micro/nanowire.
The piezo-phototronic effect is about the use of the piezoelectric potential created inside some materials for enhancing the charge carrier generation or separation at the metal-semiconductor contact or pn junction. In this paper, we demonstrate the impact of the piezo-phototronic effect on the photon sensitivity for a ZnO-CdS core-shell micro/nanowire based visible and UV sensor. CdS nanowire ...
متن کاملGigantic enhancement in sensitivity using Schottky contacted nanowire nanosensor.
A new single nanowire based nanosensor is demonstrated for illustrating its ultrahigh sensitivity for gas sensing. The device is composed of a single ZnO nanowire mounted on Pt electrodes with one end in Ohmic contact and the other end in Schottky contact. The Schottky contact functions as a "gate" that controls the current flowing through the entire system. By tuning the Schottky barrier heigh...
