Abstract

Advances in nanoscience and nanotechnology critically depend on the development of nanostructures whose properties are controlled during synthesis. The ability to control and modulate the composition, doping, crystal structure and morphology of semiconductor NWs allows researchers to explore applications of NWs for investigating fundamental scientific questions through developing new technologies. The chapter expands significantly upon the basic methods introduced in the previous chapter for NW synthesis by focusing on controlled growth of a host of NWs with modulated morphologies and structures, including axial and radial heterostructures, kinked, branched, and/or modulated doped structures, where the increased complexity in the NWs can enable unique functional properties.
