The synthesis, morphology and magneto-transport properties of nanostructure-engineered charge-ordered Pr0.5Ca0.5MnO3 grown on ZnO nanowires are reported. The stability of the charge-ordering can be tuned, but more interestingly the sign of the magnetoresistance is inverted at low temperatures. Coexistence of ferromagnetic clusters on the surface and antiferromagnetic phase in the core of the grains were considered in order to understand these features. This work suggests that such a process of growing on nanowires network can be readily extended to other transition metal oxides and open doors towards tailoring their functionalities.

New insights into controlling nanowire merging phenomena are demonstrated in growth of thin ZnO nanowires using monodispersed Au colloidal nanoparticles as catalyst. Both nanowire diameter and density were found to be strongly dependent on the densit
y of Au nanoparticles. Structural analysis and spectral cathodoluminescence imaging of the c-plane nanowire cross-sections reveal that thin isolated nanowires growing from the Au nanoparticles begin to merge and coalesce with neighbouring nanowires to form larger nanowires when their separation reaches a threshold distance. Green luminescence, which is originated from the remnants of constituent nanowires before merging, is detected at the core of fused nanowires. The distribution of nanowire diameters and green emission were found to be strongly dependent on the density of the Au nanoparticles. The merging phenomenon is attributed to electrostatic interactions between nanowire c-facets during growth and well-described by a cantilever bending model.
Metal-oxide nanowires are showing a great interest in the domain of gas sensing due to their large response even at a low temperature, enabling low-power gas sensors. However their response is still not fully understood, and mainly restricted to the
linear response regime, which limits the design of appropriate sensors for specific applications. Here we analyse the non-linear response of a sensor based on ZnO nanowires network, both as a function of the device geometry and as a response to oxygen exposure. Using an appropriate model, we disentangle the contribution of the nanowire resistance and of the junctions between nanowires in the network. The applied model shows a very good consistency with the experimental data, allowing us to demonstrate that the response to oxygen at room temperature is dominated by the barrier potential at low bias voltage, and that the nanowire resistance starts to play a role at higher bias voltage. This analysis allows us to find the appropriate device geometry and working point in order to optimize the sensitivity. Such analysis is important for providing design rules, not only for sensing devices, but also for applications in electronics and opto-electronics using nanostructures networks with different materials and geometries.
We study field-induced domain wall motion in permalloy nanowires with vertically etched nanotrench pinning site. Micromagnetic simulations and electrical measurements are employed to characterize the pinning potential at the nanotrench. It is found t
hat the potential profile for a transverse wall significantly differs from that of a vortex wall, and there is a correlation between the pinning strength and the potential profile. Reliable domain wall pinning and depinning is experimentally observed from a nanotrench in permalloy nanowires. This demonstrates the suitability of the proposed nanotrench pinning sites for domain wall device applications.
PtSe2 is attracting considerable attention as a high mobility two-dimensional material with envisionned applications in microelectronics, photodetection and spintronics. The growth of high quality PtSe2 on insulating substrates with wafer-scale unifo
rmity is a prerequisite for electronic transport investigations and practical use in devices. Here, we report the growth of highly oriented few-layers PtSe2 on ZnO(0001) by molecular beam epitaxy. The crystalline structure of the films is characterized with electron and X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The comparison with PtSe2 layers grown on graphene, sapphire, mica, SiO2 and Pt(111) shows that among insulating substrates, ZnO(0001) yields films of superior structural quality. Hall measurements performed on epitaxial ZnO/PtSe2 with 5 monolayers of PtSe2 show a clear semiconducting behaviour and a high mobility in excess of 200 cm2V 1s-1 at room temperature and up to 447 cm2V-1s-1 at low temperature.
Despite many efforts the origin of a ferromagnetic (FM) response in ZnMnO and ZnCoO is still not clear. Magnetic investigations of our samples, not discussed here, show that the room temperature FM response is observed only in alloys with a non-unifo
rm Mn or Co distribution. Thus, the control of their distribution is crucial for explanation of contradicted magnetic properties of ZnCoO and ZnMnO reported till now. In the present review we discuss advantages of the Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) growth method, which enables us to control uniformity of ZnMnO and ZnCoO alloys. Properties of ZnO, ZnMnO and ZnCoO films grown by the ALD are discussed.
