PRECISE SEMICONDUCTOR, METAL AND HYBRID NANOTUBES AND NANOFIBERS

摘要

This overview focuses on the fabrication technology and on the properties of precise nanotubes and nanofibers formed from monocrystalline A3B5 or Si/GeSi strained heterofilms, or from hybrid films. Experimental results on the batch formation of solid-state micro-and nanotubes, and helical fibers are described. The nanotubes and nanofibers fabricated offer much promise as building blocks for nanoelectronic and nanomechanical devices, their fabrication technology being quite compatible with the well-established integrated-circuit technology.
