Over the past few decades, inorganic nanostructured materials have elicited a lot of interest due to their high surface-to-volume ratio and many size dependent properties which stem from their nanoscale dimensions. Owing ...

Si nanowires have potential applications in a variety of technologies such as micro and nanoelectronics, sensors, electrodes and photovoltaic applications due to their size and specific surface area. Au particle-assisted ...

Surfaces and interfaces are of fundamental importance from the nucleation to growth of crystals formed under different conditions such as vapor phase, liquid phase including biomineralisation conditions. Recently there is ...
