We have investigated the structures of copper nanowires encapsulated in carbon nanotubes using a structural optimization process applied to the steepest descent method. The results showed that the stable morphology of the cylindrical ultrathin copper nanowires in carbon nanotubes is multishell packs consisted of coaxial cylindrical shells. As the diameter of copper nanotubes increased, the encapsulated copper nanowires have the face centered cubic structure as the bulk. Both the semiclassical orbits in a circle and the circular rolling of a triangular network can explain the structures of ultrathin multishell copper nanowires encapsulated in carbon nanotubes.

We propose new approaches to thin film transistor fabrication that use carbon nanotubes and semiconductor nanowires as active elements. These nanomaterials which are essentially studied in the context of the post CMOS era will certainly impact the active matrix display industry in the near future.

Various Semiconductor/Metal structured nanowires were synthesized from the simple thermal annealing of ball-milled compound powders and the thermal evaporation of metals. Their structural properties were investigated by Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy(TEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDX). Depending on the type of metals and the material of nanowires, uniform somiconductor/metal nanowires(GaN/Al, GaN/Ag) or isolated metal particles on semiconductor nanowires$(SnO_2/Ti,\;Si/Ti)$ were formed on the surface of nanowires.

Various semiconductor nanowires such as GaN, GaP, InP, Si$_3$N$_4$, SiO$_2$/Si, and SiC were coated conformally with aluminum oxide (Al$_2$O$_3$) layers by atomic layer deposition (ALD) using trimethylaluminum (TMA) and distilled water ($H_2O$) at a temperature of 20$0^{\circ}C$. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that A1203 cylindrical shells conformally coat the semiconductor nanowires. This study suggests that the ALD of $Al_2$O$_3$ on nanowires is a promising method for preparing cylindrical dielectric shells for coaxially gated nanowire field-effect transistors.

Semiconductor nanowires (NWs) refer to one-dimensional semiconductor materials that have a diameter constrained to tens of nanometers or less and an unconstrained length. Over the past few decades, most efforts in the semiconductor NWs have been focused on synthesis, structure and morphology control, and assembly, as appropriate for diverse functional device applications. This paper provides a detailed overview of the recent research activities and major achievements in nanowire research, which especially includes nanowires synthesis, position and direction-controlled assembly or growth. In addition, the fine tuning of structure and morphology, and the related properties and device applications of the NWs are highlighted.

Pure ZnO and ZnO nanowires doped with 3 wt.% Ga (‘3GZO’) were grown by pulsed laser deposition in a furnace system. The doping of Ga in ZnO nanowires was analyzed by observing the optical and chemical properties of the doped nanowires. The diameter and length of nanowires were under 200 nm and several ${\mu}m$, respectively. Changes of significant resistance were observed and the sensitivities of ZnO and 3GZO nanowires were compared. The sensitivities of ZnO and 3GZO nanowire sensors measured at 300℃ for 1 ppm of ethanol gas were 97% and 48%, respectively.

Field effect transistor based on semiconductor nanowires has been attracting lots of concerns and studies of scientists because of its different characteristic comparing with other morphology like thin film. Nowadays, graphene is introducing a great promise as an active layer in field effect transistor due to its unique electronic and optoelectronic properties. Thus, a mix structure between etched graphene and semiconductor nanowires is believed to expose novel electrical characteristics. In this study, CuO nanowires (20~80 nm in diameter and $1{\sim}10{\mu}m$ length) were grown during oxidizing Cu foil at $450^{\circ}C$ for 24 h. Besides, 3-layersetched graphene was deposited on Cu foil at $1,000^{\circ}C$ using a feedstock of $CH_4$/$H_2$ mixed gas in CVD system. A structure of Ni/Au electrode + CuO nanowires + etched graphene was fabricated, afterward. Finally, field effect properties of the device was revealed and compared with individual devices of just nanowires and just graphene.

Ga-based semiconductor nanowires (GaN, GaP) were synthesized by the reaction of Ga metal and GaN/GaP powder with a $NH_3/Ar$ gas using thermal chemical vapor deposition. The field emission and emission stability under oxygen and argon environments were investigated. Field emission energy distributions of electrons from these nanowires revealed that field emission mechanism of the semiconductor nanowires were different from carbon nanotubes.

The electrical properties of ZnO nanowire field effect transistors (FETs) have been investigated depending on various diameters of nanowires. The ZnO nanowires were synthesized with an Au catalyst on c-plane $Al_2O_3$ substrates using hot-walled pulsed laser deposition (HW-PLD). The nanowire FETs are fabricated by conventional photo-lithography. The diameter of ZnO nanowires is simply controlled by changing the thickness of the Au catalyst metal, which is confirmed by FE-SEM. It has been clearly observed that the ZnO nanowires showed different diameters simply depending on the thickness of the Au catalyst. As the diameter of ZnO nanowires increased, the threshold voltage of ZnO nanowires shifted to the negative direction systematically. The results are attributed to the difference of conductive layer in the nanowires with different diameters of nanowires, which is simply controlled by changing the catalyst thickness. The results show the possibility for the simple method of the fabrication of nanowire logic circuits using enhanced and depleted mode.
