Enabling electrical and magnetic properties by tailoring dimensions


Abstract This work investigates the novel electrical and magnetic properties exhibited by nanoscale materials. Here we outline some unique nanomaterials synthesis approaches such as nanoparticles catalyzed vapor-liquid-solid synthesis, doped oxide nanowires synthesis, and high temperature synthesis of nanomaterial. We examine magnetic and electrical properties enabled by the nanodimensions. For example, electrical conductivity is significantly enhanced in Te nanostructures compared to its bulk phase when its thickness is reduced to a few nanometers. We investigate the magnetic properties in oxide nanostructures (Ga2O3, ZnO, ITO). These results provide key new insights to understand the electrical and magnetic properties originated in the nanoscale dimensions.
