Can we define unique effective masses in Si nanowires?
06 Jul 2008 | | Contributor(s):: Dragica Vasileska, Gerhard Klimeck
This exercise teaches the users that for small nanostructures the concept of the effective mass becomes vague and in order to properly describe nanostructures one has to take into account the numerically calculated dispersion relation. This is clearly illustrated on the example of Si nanowires...

Electro-deposition of Copper on a Filter Template for Growing Nanowires
30 Nov 2016 | | Contributor(s):: Francis Nguyen, NNCI Nano
This lab is designed to help students understand the electro-plating process of growing nanowires. This experiment will use an electro-plating process to transfer metal ions in a solution to a template to produce nanowires. The electric field in the solution carries these ions and deposits them...

Notes on Scattering and Mobility in 1D, 2D, and 3D
03 Nov 2009 | | Contributor(s):: Dmitri Nikonov, Md. Sayed Hasan, George Bourianoff
Derivation of the phonon-limited mobility is reviewed for electrons in bulk (3D) orquantum confined (2D and 1D) semiconductor structures. Analytical estimates are madethat show the mobility in quantum confined structures is, in general, lower or no higherthan in non-confined ones.
