Recent Research on Non-Lithographic Fabrication of Ni-Se Heterojunction Nanowires and Their Electrical Characterization | Chapter 2 | Recent Advances in Science and Technology Research Vol. 8

 In this paper, Ni-Se heterojunction nanowires are produced via the process of template-assisted electrodeposition. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffractometry and electrical transport studies characterise nanowires. The uniform and dense growth of Ni-Se nanowires is revealed by SEM photographs. The crystalline nature of Ni-Se nanowires is shown by the pattern of X-ray diffraction. The much higher proportion of Ni compared to Se is demonstrated by the EDS spectrum. The resonant tunnelling diodes (RTDs) illustrate a collective current-voltage characteristic of heterojunction nanowires as a conduct with a peak to valley current ratio of 1.37 at room temperature. This technique is ideal for synthesising the desired diameter and duration of mono dispersive nanowires. Peak current, which is a significant feature, is observed at low voltage and provides the possibility of creating electronic devices with low power dissipation.
