Crossbar Addressing Using Core-Shell Nanowires

چکیده
The nanowire crossbar is a promising nanotechnology for assembling memories and circuits. In both, a small number of lithographically produced mesoscale wires (MWs) must control a large number of nanoscale wires (NWs). Previous strategies for achieving this have been vunerable to misalignment. In this paper, we introduce core-shell NWs, which eliminate misalignment errors. We also give a two-step assembly process that reduces the amount of crossbar control

Recent research in nanoscale computing offers multiple techniques for producing large numbers of parallel nanowires (NWs). These wires can be assembled into crossbars, two orthogonal sets of parallel NWs separated by a layer of molecular devices. In a crossbar, pairs of orthogonal NWs provides control over the molecules at their crosspoints. Hysteretic molecules act as programmable diodes, allo...

Radial core/shell nanowires (NWs) represent an important class of nanoscale building blocks with substantial potential for exploring fundamental electronic properties and realizing novel device applications at the nanoscale. Here, we report the synthesis of crystalline silicon/amorphous silicon (Si/a-Si) core/shell NWs and studies of crossed Si/a-Si NW metal NW (Si/a-Si x M) devices and arrays....

Appropriately controlling the properties of the Si shell in Ge/Si core/shell nanowires permits not only passivation of the Ge surface states, but also introduces new interface phenomena, thereby enabling novel nanoelectronics concepts. Here, we report a rational synthesis of Ge/Si core/shell nanowires with doped Si shells. We demonstrate that the morphology and thickness of Si shells can be con...

GaAs/GaMnAs core-shell nanowires were grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The core GaAs nanowires were synthesized under typical nanowire growth conditions using gold as catalyst. For the GaMnAs shell the temperature was drastically reduced to achieve low-temperature growth conditions known to be crucial for high-quality GaMnAs. The GaMnAs shell grows epitaxially on the side facets of the core GaA...
متن کاملCarbon-silicon core-shell nanowires as high capacity electrode for lithium ion batteries.
We introduce a novel design of carbon-silicon core-shell nanowires for high power and long life lithium battery electrodes. Amorphous silicon was coated onto carbon nanofibers to form a core-shell structure and the resulted core-shell nanowires showed great performance as anode material. Since carbon has a much smaller capacity compared to silicon, the carbon core experiences less structural st...
