Nanowires are 1D nanostructures with a wide range of potential uses. The ability of bottom-up growth methods to ‘program’ nanowire structure and composition with nanoscale precision opens the door to novel materials properties and functionality.

Nanowire Week 2023 will cover all aspects of nanowire research and development, from fabrication and fundamental properties to applications.

Main topics include:

• Nanowire growth and manufacturing

• Heterostructures and alloys

• Nanowire surface patterning

• Arrays, networks, and hierarchial systems

• Advanced microscopies and spectroscopies applied to nanowires

• Optical, electrical, thermal and mechanical properties

• Electron transport and doping in nanowires

• Quantum behavior and devices

• Nanowire integration into functional materials and systems

• Hybrid nanowire-biological systems

• Sensors and actuators

• Electronic and optoelectronic devices

• Energy conversion and storage
