Collaborative research from Japan and Canada has shed light on the type and mechanism of conductance of individual WO3 nanowire FETs.
Individual WO3 nanowire photodetectors were shown to hold great potential as UV-A light sensors. By fabricating these sensors on carbon paper, significantly enhanced stability and shortened response and decay times were obtained. The WO3 nanowires were also subjected to field-emission measurements and the results showed that these nanostructures are promising candidates for incorporation into novel electronic and optoelectronic devices.
