Optimisation of the electrical and optical properties of ZnO nanowires for advanced nanodevice applications

人们普遍认为，纳米线和相关结构将为构建具有前所未有性能的未来功能纳米器件提供关键。在这个项目中，我们将在实验室中开发可靠的协议来制造氧化锌纳米线，这些协议可以满足特定的纳米技术和纳米器件应用的需要，并且一旦建立，这些生长技术可以重新配置用于工业规模的制造。这些纳米线生长技术的发展将使澳大利亚在迅速崛起的纳米科学和纳米技术领域处于领先地位。

It is widely accepted that nanowires and related structures will provide the key for the construction of future functional nano-devices with unprecedented performance. In this project we will develop robust protocols for the fabrication of ZnO nanowires in the lab which can be meet the needs of specific nanotechnology and nanodevice applications and once established these growth techniques can reconfigured for industrial scale fabrication. Development of these nanowire growth techniques will enable Australia to be at the leading edge in the rapidly emerging field of nano-science and nano-technology.
