Metal oxide based nanostructure engineering: electrical and gas sensitive properties of structurally modified SnO2 nanowires

The paper presents results of the research aimed at the engineering of nanostructures (NSs). SnO2 nanowires (NWs) were grown via vapor-solid mechanism at a synthesis temperature of 900°С in a modified set-up allowing the NS morphology be encoded in a programmable way along its length. The Ti/Au (...
