Smaller diameter nanowires are needed in order to scale down electronic devices and improve their performance. However, to date the properties of thin InAs nanowires and their sensitivity to various factors were not known. The book presents the first study of ultrathin InAs nanowires with diameters below 10 nm are studied, for the first time, establishing the channel in field-effect transistors (FETs) and the correlation between nanowire diameter and device performance. Moreover, it develops a novel method for directly correlating the atomic-level structure with the properties of individual nanowires and their device performance. Using this method, the electronic properties of InAs nanowires and the performance of the FETs they are used in are found to change with the crystal phases (wurtzite, zinc-blend or a mix phase), the axis direction and the growth method. These findings deepen our understanding of InAs nanowires and provide a potential way to tailor device performance by controlling the relevant parameters of the nanowires and devices.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053EngineeringSurfaces (Physics)Optical materialsNanoscale Science and Technologyhttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/P25140Nanotechnology and Microengineeringhttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/T18000Semiconductorshttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/P25150Characterization and Evaluation of Materialshttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/Z17000Electronic Circuits and Deviceshttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/P31010Optical and Electronic Materialshttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/Z12000Engineering.Surfaces (Physics).Optical materials.Nanoscale Science and Technology.Nanotechnology and Microengineering.Semiconductors.Characterization and Evaluation of Materials.Electronic Circuits and Devices.Optical and Electronic Materials.620.5Fu Mengqiauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut835653BOOK9910300532403321Electrical Properties of Indium Arsenide Nanowires and Their Field-Effect Transistors1867827UNINA
